Playoff predictions for Fossil Ridge, Wellington, Windsor and more

It's officially playoff time in Colorado high school football. In some ways, this is the calm before the storm for Fort Collins-area and Northern Colorado teams, as several top contenders are on first-round byes. There are still some intriguing postseason matchups this week, including Class 5A Fossil Ridge on the road and reigning 3A runner-up Windsor hosting. And of course, the defending 2A champions in Wellington are back to retain their title. All season long, I will predict games featuring seven Fort Collins-area teams (PSD schools plus Windsor) and select other NoCo matchups. Players, feel free to make this bulletin-board material. Fans, I'm ready to hear from you. We'll keep things accountable, updating my record each week.

City engineer requests $1.17 million increase to Reed Avenue rail project design contract

CHEYENNE – Members of the Cheyenne City Council are considering a contract modification that would nearly double the cost of design work on the Reed Avenue Rail Corridor Project. The item, which was discussed at the council’s Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, would add $1,166,647 to the existing design contract for the project. Before the modification, the design contract amount was $1,320,919. If the additional funding request is ultimately approved, it would total $2,487,566. The Reed Avenue project plan was first drawn up in 2018 after the city’s engineering department received $4 million from the 2017 sixth-penny sales tax ballot. Although city officials tried to begin work immediately, they soon came to realize that BNSF Railway — not the city — owns the right of way in the corridor, and therefore underestimated how much the project would cost. Council members slowed down their work on the project until earlier this year, when officials got back in contact with BNSF officials to work out an agreement. City Engineer Tom Cobb told committee members Tuesday that the additional funding would expand the project beyond its original scope and address requirements that emerged during coordination with BNSF Railway and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

PREP FOOTBALL: East downs Sheridan in overtime to advance to 4A title tilt

CHEYENNE – Trace Eldridge connected with Cooper Hassler in the back of the end zone on a two-point conversion in overtime to help send Cheyenne East to the Class 4A state title game with a 15-14 win over Sheridan. The Thunderbirds trailed 7-0 going into the fourth quarter, but Eldridge ripped off a 73-yard touchdown run with 6 minutes, 49 seconds to play. East had a chance to take the lead late, but was forced to punt with less than a minute left. Sheridan drove all the way down to the East 29 with three seconds left, but was unable to convert and sent the game to overtime. The Broncs scored on the first play of overtime to regain the lead and had East at fourth and goal from the half-yard line before Eldridge punched it in to set up the two-point try. “I called for (an extra-point kick) and they talked me out of it,” East coach Chad Goff said. “It took resilience and continuing to get up and come at them. The defense played great after that first touchdown. “(Sheridan’s) defense is so good, and our offense kept coming at them. It took us four plays to get

Cheyenne East senior Javon Register is taking advantage of his opportunities

CHEYENNE — Cheyenne East needed to find a replacement for all-state running back Keyshawn Brown coming into this season. Senior running back Javon Register was seen as one of the potential replacements, but it wasn’t a foregone conclusion. In the first few games, Register was part of a rotation of multiple running backs East went through during games in hopes one would separate and become the clear-cut starter. Register ended up as the one that separated himself. “He just started doing good stuff, and we were like, ‘Let’s roll with him,’” East coach Chad Goff said. “We had other guys that were playing defense all the time, and he just took that and (ran with it). He’s just done good things. “… He’s a smart kid, and he’s hardworking, and he just does good things. You can see him just mature as time has gone on, and he’s taking this leadership role that he’s taken and putting guys on his back and carrying them a little bit here and there. He’s just grown so much as the season has progressed.” Register notched just a handful of touches on the offensive end while primarily playing at the junior-varsity level prior to

New DDA executive director Unruh brings previous downtown revitalization experience to Cheyenne

CHEYENNE — Cheyenne’s Downtown Development Authority has a new executive director who brings experience in downtown revitalization and community development to the role. Brandon Unruh, who began his position with the DDA earlier this month, previously worked for the town of Kersey, Colorado, where he spent four and a half years in a variety of roles, most recently as the town’s community development director. “I worked primarily on downtown revitalization projects,” Unruh said. “That included project management, grant management, and building relationships with the property owners and business owners that operated in our downtown.” During his time in Kersey, Unruh said he also helped establish a downtown revitalization committee to provide input on projects and communicate with the Kersey Town Board of Trustees. While his responsibilities as a small-town government employee were wide-ranging, Unruh said downtown revitalization was the part of the job he loved the most. “So this new opportunity with Cheyenne I’m really excited about because that’s obviously what I’m focused on,” he said. Unruh began working for Kersey as its recreation director before receiving a series of internal promotions. He later served as community experience director and oversaw a broad department that included downtown revitalization, recreation, event

(OPINION) The Mayor’s Minute with Patrick Collins (11/6/26)

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Judy and I are happy the election has passed and we don’t have to endure the negative electioneering invading our lives. For me, Election Day was amazing. First, the voters of Laramie County voted to support our local governments with their support of the Fifth Penny sales tax. We call the Fifth Penny the road tax as 80% of the funds collected by the city go to maintaining our roadways. Our goal is to do major maintenance on 10% of our roads every year. Due to the increased economic activity in our area, we are planning to expand our yearly maintenance activity from 30 miles a year to 40 miles. Remember, we have 370 miles of city roads so this effort must happen every year in the future.

Joan Barron: The Big Blue Wave Skips Wyoming

CHEYENNE – Although the Democratic blue wave skipped Wyoming this year, it left a few dips as well as the sense that voters' political choices were shifting a tad. Overall though, Wyoming emerged as still a very red MAGA state backing President Donald Trump. The needle might be quivering a bit, but it still is very much where it has been stuck in recent years.
