We get a lot of guys back and especially the guys that were big contributors to our team like Jake Toshcoff, Colton Pawlak, Mason Griffin, Nate Ceshcin, and Nick Kubat.\u201d<br><br>What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?<br>\u201cI feel like our toughest competition is definitely going to be Columbine. They just won the state championship so they are definitely going to try to go back-to-back.\u201d<br><br>Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?<br>\u201cI feel like the toughest individual player we will face is Jordan Rechel. He is a really quick and elusive wide receiver which makes him really tough to defend. He also plays as a defensive back for Fairview. This makes him really tough to go against since he is such a good all-around player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fossil Ridge offensive lineman Nate Ceschin<br>How do you feel your team will do next football season?<br>\u201cI feel that our team will be a lot better than last year, we have a big senior class that knows the plays well so we will hopefully be a very sound team.\u201d<br><br>What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?<br>\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure we will play Columbine next season so they will definitely give us some tough competition as they are defending state champs.\u201d<br><br>Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?<br>\u201cIn my opinion it will be Bekkam Kritza from Fairview, we are going to need a good defensive strategy to stop this quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fossil Ridge quarterback Nick Kubat<br>How do you feel your team will do next football season?<br>\u201cI think our team will do better next season. We were mostly juniors this past season so we didn&#8217;t lose many seniors. This year was a building year so I think next year we will only get better.\u201d<br><br>What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?<br>\u201cNext year we play Columbine, our second game of the season and they are the 5a state champion so I think that will be our hardest game.\u201d<br><br>Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?<br>\u201cThe hardest player that we played against this year was Bekkam Kritza. He is the quarterback for Fairview and he is smart and has a good arm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preseason Awards &amp; Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offensive Conference MVP:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan Rechel Fairview\/Nick Kubat Fossil Ridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensive Conference MVP:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryder Villarreal Fairview<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Players to Watch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alejandro Floripe Boulder<br>Barrett Greene Fossil Ridge<br>Bradley Mallette Rocky Mountain<br>Bradon Meyer Poudre<br>Brayden Bay Poudre<br>Brennan Roper Fossil Ridge<br>Brock Kolstad Fairview<br>Cody Arnett Rocky Mountain<br>Colton Pawlak Fossil Ridge<br>Enzo Pulte Fairview<br>Garrett Sims Poudre<br>Harley Schmidt Fossil Ridge<br>Henry Sharpe Boulder<br>Isaac Gilliland Fossil Ridge<br>Jack Mckeon Fort Collins<br>Jackson Pirritt Boulder<br>Jackson Thole Poudre<br>Jake Toshcoff Fossil Ridge<br>Justin Cranford Fort Collins<br>Kaden Souders Fort Collins<br>Kye Mascarenas Fossil Ridge<br>Kyle Olson Fossil Ridge<br>Landon Covele Boulder<br>Levi Hermsen Fort Collins<br>Luciano Ruscitti Boulder<br>Luke Christen Fossil Ridge<br>Luke Garvin Fossil Ridge<br>Marcus Mozer Fossil Ridge<br>Mason Griffin Fossil Ridge<br>Myles Robbins Boulder<br>Owen Wind Fossil Ridge<br>Peyton Matkin Rocky Mountain<br>Porter Park Fort Collins<br>Sabi Ruttgers Fairview<br>Tk Cunningham Fairview<br>Toray Davis Fairview<br>Valentin G\u00f6rtz Fossil Ridge<br>Wyatt Keegan Fairview<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/did-we-miss-an-athlete\/\">Athlete Missing?<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/nominate-an-athlete-for-a-qa\/\">Q&amp;A Nomination<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CO Prep Varsity predicts standings, preseason MVPs, and much more in this preview now!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/football-coverage-from-co-prep-varsity\/\">Football Archives<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/category\/football\/\">New Football Coverage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3519,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[78,74,82,73,33,75],"class_list":["post-1578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-colorado-football","tag-colorado-high-school-football","tag-colorado-high-school-football-previews","tag-colorado-preps","tag-conference-preview","tag-coprepvarsity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1578"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3498,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1578\/revisions\/3498"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/co-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
