FORT COLLINS — When putting together this year’s schedule, Cherry Creek had a problem. No other top Class 5A football program besides Regis Jesuit and Pine Creek wanted to, or could, face the Bruins in non-conference play. So Cherry Creek was forced to schedule three out-of-state bouts in Utah, Nebraska and Texas in order to ensure the Bruins had enough games. Those road trips molded Cherry Creek for its seventh straight Class 5A title appearance on Saturday, where the Bruins are a heavy favorite against Legend at Canvas Stadium. “We learned a lot about our team (from those games),” Cherry Creek head coach Dave Logan said.
