Steamboat Springs — The Steamboat Springs High School football team begins its quest for a Class 3A state championship with a 7 p.m. kickoff Friday at Gardner Field.
Steamboat, the No. 4 seed in the 16-team Class 3A bracket, will take on No. 13 seed Berthoud. Although the pairing was announced Sunday, the time and day of the game weren’t decided until late Sunday night, Steamboat Springs High School Principal Kevin Taulman said Monday.
Despite initially preferring to play a Saturday day game, Berthoud’s football coach, principal and athletic director each agreed to Steamboat’s preferred Friday night game time, Taulman said.
It’s unclear whether Mother Nature wants to cooperate, as well. Early forecasts from the National Weather Service call for rain Friday and a daytime high of 43 degrees, with a chance of rain and snow Friday night and a low of 25 degrees. Saturday’s forecast is a high of 42 with a chance of rain and snow.
Tickets for the game are $7 for adults and $5 for students. To help deter long lines at the ticket table Friday night, tickets are being sold in advance at the high school office. Advance purchases can be made from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through Friday.
Steamboat Springs High School Activity Passes are not valid for state playoff football games.
