Presented by the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame and held at INVESCO Field at Mile High on Nov. 29, the high school class 5A and 4A championship games were watched by a crowd of 12,411 second highest in state high school football history.
This marked the fourth consecutive year for both of the state's big school title games to take place at INVESCO Field at Mile High.
Mullen defeated Cherry Creek 20-16 to win the Class 5A title while Wheat Ridge defeated Greeley West by a 35-31 margin to claim the Class 4A title.
