Class 5A 1. Cherry Creek (2-1) won vs. Regis Jesuit, 42-7. The Bruins’ first game in Colorado this season ended in a rout, as the Creek defense held Regis scoreless until the late stages of the fourth quarter.

For the first time in 495 days, Antonio Senzatela will find his way to the mound for a major league game. Senzatela, returning from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, will start Monday for the Rockies, manager Bud Black confirmed Friday afternoon at Coors Field. It will be the first game for Senzatela with the big club since May 10, 2023, when he left his second start of last season after facing just 12 batters. Senzatela and the Rockies opted against surgery for the ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his elbow at first, but he eventually had the procedure in mid-July 2023 after a platelet-rich plasma injection did not have the desired effect. The 29-year-old righty had been an on-again, off-again member of Colorado’s rotation for the previous six seasons before the injury.

BOULDER — When the bully across the road gives you a wedgie on national TV, the neighbors start to worry. Get beat by little brother? The neighbors start to talk. “I would say (CU Buffs coach) Deion Sanders needs (Saturday) more,” CBS analyst and former NFL lineman Ross Tucker, who’s in the booth for Saturday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown at Fort Collins, told me by phone earlier this week.
