This time a week ago, seven local teams were alive and in contention in the high school football playoffs.
As the dust cleared on first- and second-round matchups this past weekend, only three teams remained.
Windsor, the top seed in the 16-team Class 3A postseason, was in full control of a familiar foe in 16th-seeded Severance. The Wizards picked up a 28-7 first-round win Saturday afternoon at H.J. Dudley Field.
Windsor (11-0) remains undefeated heading into a second-round game against No. 9 Pueblo South (9-2) back on the Wizards’ home field at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Colts advanced with a high-scoring 50-42 road win against No. 8 Conifer (9-2) on Friday.
Severance ended its season with a 4-7 record.
The first-round matchup between the Silver Knights and Windsor was tied at 7 until Windsor rattled off 21 unanswered points in the second quarter.

(Joseph Sykes/For the Greeley Tribune)As has routinely been the case this fall, the Wizards had dual 100-plus-yard rushers. Senior quarterback Mason Moore ran for 131 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. Senior running back Adrian Czyszczon had 100 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.
Windsor’s defense held Severance to 240 yards of total offense, forcing three interceptions and a fumble.
Also in 3A, sixth-seeded Roosevelt picked up a lopsided 47-0 win against 11th-seeded Pueblo County on Friday. Go to greeleytribune.com or read this past Sunday’s Tribune for full coverage of that game.
Unflappable
Being seeded within the lower half of the bracket certainly didn’t deter perennial contender Eaton’s title hopes in 2A.
On their home field, the ninth-seeded Reds upset top-seeded Strasburg 35-32 in the second round Saturday afternoon.
It was the Indians’ only loss of the season, as they wrapped up their campaign at 10-1.
Eaton (8-3) carries a four-game win streak into a semifinals game against fourth-seeded Elizabeth (9-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The Reds remained one step ahead of Strasburg throughout their second-round win. They led 14-13 at halftime and remained ahead, 21-20 after three quarters. Eaton outscored the Indians 14-12 in the fourth quarter.
The Reds had 234 passing yards and 112 rushing yards.
Junior quarterback Brayden Legler completed 15 of 28 passes for 234 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Senior Ely Madaleno was Eaton’s leading receiver with 88 yards on five catches. Junior Jackson Savona had 75 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.
End of the road
The other local playoff football teams weren’t quite as fortunate as Windsor, Eaton and Roosevelt this past weekend.
Seventh-seeded Resurrection Christian struggled mightily in a 42-12 road loss to No. 2 Wellington (11-0) in the second round of the 2A playoffs.
The Cougars ended their season with a 7-4 record.
The Eagles dominated from the onset, leading 14-0 after one quarter and 35-6 after three.
Resurrection Christian had just 185 yards of total offense. Senior Britton Walston had 85 rushing yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Wellington recorded nine sacks, including five by senior Ezra Batjargal.
After scoring a road upset in the first round two weeks ago, 12th-seeded Highland’s run in the 1A 11-man playoffs came to an end via a 26-0 home loss to No. 4 Centauri (10-1) in the second round Saturday.
The Huskies ended their season with a 7-4 mark.
Fifth-seeded Dayspring Christian fell in a 71-42 shootout on the road against No. 4 Sanford (10-1) in the second round of the 1A 8-man playoffs.
The Eagles concluded their season with a 7-4 record.

Saturday was no doubt a festive night for local girls volleyball programs at the Denver Coliseum.
And the fact University won the 4A title and Eaton claimed another 3A crown weren’t the only reasons to celebrate.
Before the title matches kicked off Saturday night, the Colorado High School Activities Association recognized Colorado’s first state champions. This is the 50th anniversary of the girls volleyball state tournaments.
Valley’s Class AA 1975 championship was recognized, as was that year’s A champion, Prairie, and AAA champion, Mitchell. Runner-up teams were also recognized, including Platte Valley, which placed second in AA.
That first year of state tournaments took place at the old Highland and Mapleton high schools in Thornton.
Those state tournaments a half-century ago were CHSAA’s first state tournaments for girls-only team sports. They took place three years after Title IX passed.
Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school program or activity that receives federal funding.
Longtime local coach and educator Robert Chacon Caciari was an outside hitter and senior captain on Valley’s inaugural state championship team.
“I think we were fortunate because we were one of the few schools that was very supportive of making sure that we were able to get out there,” Chacon Caciari told CHSAANow.com. “All of the schools in our area competed. (Coach) Ann (McKay) came in the middle of our freshman year, and they really pushed to get volleyball sanctioned by CHSAA. We got to reap the benefits of their hard work.”
For more about those initial state volleyball tournaments, check out an article reflecting on those competitions at CHSAANow.com.
Also before Saturday night’s finals, Valley head coach Michelle Chacon received the Colorado High School Coaches Association’s Pioneer Award for her decades worth of contributions to the sport.
Chacon has spent 28 total years coaching at Valley, including a long assistant coaching stint under Rene Aafedt, whose Vikings teams won 3A state titles in 2010′ and ’12.
