Football: Auroras highest seed in the Class 5A state playoffs, No. 4 Regis Jesuit, welcomes No. 29 Fort Collins to Lou Kellogg Stadium for a 7 p.m. first round contest. The teams play for the first time since 2005, when the Lambkins upset the Raiders in a first round playoff game on the same field. Regis Jesuit is a five-game winning streak behind a strong defensive effort spearheaded by sackmaster Terran Otto Hasselbach, LBs Joe Bozeman and Quinn Vandekoppel and others, plus efficient QB play by junior Matt Houghtaling.

Fort Collins won a playoff game last time to snap a five-game losing streak in postseason openers. For a Fort Collins vs. Regis Jesuit preview capsule:
