Live updates, game time, streaming info: Cherry Creek up 28-0 on Regis Jesuit in first quarter in Colorado opener
Live updates, game time, streaming info: Cherry Creek up 28-0 on Regis Jesuit in first quarter in Colorado opener originally appeared on The Sporting News AURORA, Colorado, Aug. 21 — Colorado's high school football season has officially kicked off! The No. 1 Cherry Creek [Greenwood Village] Bruins are taking on the Regis Jesuit [Aurora] Raiders in a battle between two of the state's Top 10 programs. Cherry Creek has jumped on Regis Jesuit early with four quick touchdowns, and it appears this game is already decided early. How to watch Cherry Creek vs. Regis Jesuit football TV channel: N/A Live stream:NFHS Network Date: Thursday, August 21, 2025 Time: 6:30 p.m. MST local/8:30 p.m. EST Cherry Creek vs. Regis Jesuit will not be broadcast on traditional television, but it will be streamed live by the NFHS Network.

Look, an upset in this game is unlikely. It was a blowout a year ago, it could be a blowout tonight. It could easily be a blowout tonight. But if there's any chance for the Raiders, it starts here: you absolutely have to limit mistakes early, and try to get to halftime within two scores at worst. If you can stay in it long enough, then sometimes, even though the other team may be much better, you start to get into their heads a bit. Can Regis Jesuit intimidate Cherry Creek? Probably not, but you can start to get inside their heads if you stick around. Even with all the elite talent that Cherry Creek has, if the game is close, doubts can start to creep in. If you get in a deep hole early, then you lose those psychological advantages you might gain even if you are the less-talented team. It's going to take a lot for Regis Jesuit to stay in this, and they just can't get overwhelmed early. If they do, the scoreboard will look a lot like it did a year ago. __________ TEAM INFO ... From a talent standpoint, this is a lopsided matchup. Ten of the 40 players listed in Class of 2026 are enrolled at Cherry Creek. Regis Jesuit doesn't have any. That's a lot of senior leadership for a defending champion at Colorado's highest level. __________ WEATHER AND MORE ... A lot of weather issues delaying games down in the southeast. Our scheduled live blog for Columbus vs. Southridge down in Miami, Fl, this afternoon got moved to Saturday morning. And we're currently in a weather delay down in Alabama for Carver Montgomery at No. 16 Thompson. Ditto for my colleague Buck Ringgold's game between Pike Road and Prattville at the Cramton Bowl in Birmingham. So, pardon me, if I'm a little skittish to check the weather out in Colorado. The good news there is The Weather Channel is reporting a zero percent chance of rain out there. It is hot – 93 degrees hot – and there is an Air Quality Alert for an Ozone Action Day. But, other than that, all signs are that it is a go tonight for Colorado's No. 1 team Cherry Creek at Regis Jesuit. __________ TOP 25 AND THE GAME OF THE WEEK ...

Broncos encouraged to trade one of their top cornerbacks to NFC East team
Broncos encouraged to trade one of their top cornerbacks to NFC East team originally appeared on The Sporting News The Denver Broncos recently made a trade, sending wide receiver Devaughn Vele to the New Orleans Saints. Should the team now consider a move on the defensive side of the ball? Alex Kay of Bleacher Report feels that one of the cornerbacks could be moved. The Broncos have Pat Surtain II and first-round pick Jahdae Barron, as well as some impressive depth behind them. That is why Kay proposes that the Broncos send Riley Moss to the Dallas Cowboys. In return, the Broncos receive a fourth-round pick in next year's draft. "The Broncos have one of the NFL's better defenses and are loaded with talent at the cornerback position. The team could clear up roster space and add future assets by dealing Riley Moss—a 2023 third-rounder—to the Cowboys this offseason. While Moss is a quality corner who emerged as a starter last year, he's a bit redundant following Denver's decision to draft Jahdae Barron. The first-rounder looked extremely sharp during his preseason debut and seems to be the long-term No. 2 corner across from Pat Surtain II in this defense. With Dallas' secondary facing an uncertain future due to DaRon Bland's impending free agency and Trevon Diggs' injury history, it would make sense to send a Day 2 pick to Denver to acquire a young, cost-controlled defensive back to build around", wrote Kay. This wouldn't be a bad trade for the Broncos, as a fourth-round pick is a solid return for Moss. However, the idea of the Broncos starting Surtain and Moss on the outside with Barron as the nickel corner might be the optimal way to go this season, meaning it's not a deal that the team needs to make. READ:Broncos must find a way to keep these four players With that said, if the team plans to start Barron on the outside and keep Ja'Quan McMillian as the starting slot corner, then dealing Moss could be seen as acceptable. The Broncos don't need to feel like they have to trade players away just because they are deep at certain positions. The Vele trade, which fetched a fourth and seventh-round choice in return, was a great deal. But Moss should only be traded if the team doesn't see him as a starter this coming season. If he is, he needs to stick around what could be the league's best defense in 2026, and McMillian would still be around as a terrific depth piece.

Dodger Details: A disappointing split in Denver, the left-field problem and more
DENVER — The beatdown Thursday was cathartic. The lasting feeling is what could've been. The Los Angeles Dodgers rocked the Colorado Rockies for the second time in four days and did what they'd hoped to when arriving at the friendly offensive confines that are Coors Field. Thursday, it meant home runs for Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages, strong days for Mookie Betts and Alex Freeland, and a nice start under the circumstances for Clayton Kershaw in a 9-5 win. Advertisement The problem? The other two games this week, in which they helped the 37-win Rockies add two to their season tally. 'Can't take anything for granted in Colorado, obviously,' Kershaw said. Cue the seeds for Andy! — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 21, 2025 An exhilarating sweep of the San Diego Padres was immediately followed by a dud and a split to a Rockies team that only recently has escaped being on a historic pace for futility. The week before, it was a series win over the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays that was immediately followed by getting swept in Anaheim against the Angels. 'I wish we'd have won all four. It just didn't happen,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'They beat us two games pretty handily. That's just the way baseball is. We've got to go out there and, regardless of the standings, we've got to beat those guys.' Especially given the nature of two of the losses in Colorado, it feels like a letdown. Take Wednesday, when Tanner Gordon — whose career ERA had been 8.30 in 72 2/3 innings before the start — allowed just one run in six innings. 'The results are the results,' Roberts said Wednesday night. 'The performance is the performance. It certainly speaks to it. I'd like to think it's not a letdown. But when you're at Coors and putting together some of these at-bats — I don't have the answer.' The result: a two-game lead in the National League West coming out of last weekend now sits at one entering another three games against the Padres and a missed opportunity. 'I think we definitely could've produced more,' said Freeland, who collected a double and triple as part of a three-hit day. 'But you know what, we're gonna take this win today and take this momentum into San Diego.' 'Let's get out of here,' Kershaw quipped. When they arrive in San Diego, they'll have reinforcements. Closer Tanner Scott will be activated off the injured list Friday, with fellow reliever Kirby Yates slated to be active as soon as Saturday. The spot found Michael Conforto again in the second inning Thursday. The mere fact that a day off for Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández meant Conforto was hitting cleanup was a statement of just where the Dodgers' lineup is at. The result, a strikeout with the bases loaded, was the continuation of a $17 million gamble that has gone bust. Advertisement He finished the day hitless with a sacrifice fly. Through Thursday, only two hitters with at least 350 plate appearances have produced a worse OPS than Conforto's .611. Among that group of players, Conforto and Nick Castellanos are tied with a league-worst 0.8 WAR, according to FanGraphs. 'I've obviously given Mike a lot of leash,' Roberts said. He sat down Conforto for a series of conversations this past week, urging the one-time All-Star to dial back his urge to make up for lost numbers. It resulted in a strong weekend against the Padres, but he remains in a hole. The Dodgers simply need better production in left field. Entering Thursday, only the Kansas City Royals have produced a lower Outs Above Average (-2.4) out of the left-field position than the Dodgers (-1.9). Among the teams level with the Dodgers in left-field ineptitude this season are the Padres, who went out and addressed the issue last month in acquiring the red-hot Ramón Laureano. Conforto's relative upswing in July (.827 OPS) was enough that the Dodgers felt content with Alex Call being their lone position player acquisition. Roberts reiterated Thursday that he sees left field largely as a platoon between the two, though Call put together a solid series at Coors Field to bring his Dodgers numbers to 9-for-30 (.300). Thursday, Call reached three times in five plate appearances, drawing a pair of walks to go with a single. 'As you start kind of getting into September, you've got to figure out the guys that you're going to go with,' Roberts said. 'I think it's just up to the guys that are in there that day to go out there and perform.' A return to health could also change things. Roberts pointed to Kiké Hernández's likely return next week as a potential tipping point. Perhaps Hernández could play center field against left-handed pitching, moving Pages to right field, Hernández to left and Conforto (and Call) to the bench. It appears to be under consideration. Maybe Kiké Hernández takes some left-field starts. When Hyeseong Kim returns, that's another left-handed bat in the mix. Roki Sasaki's status on the far periphery of the Dodgers' postseason roster projection is a testament to not only the health of the club's starting pitching right now but also how strange every part of Sasaki's rookie season has been. Even a clear step forward, like he had in his second rehab start with Oklahoma City on Wednesday, comes with reasons for apprehension. Advertisement Sasaki's fastball velocity ticked up to 96.0 mph on average, an improvement from the 93.4 mph he averaged on the pitch in his first game action since May. That still is far from the heights Sasaki has been hoping to dial up his velocity to, but it's an improvement nonetheless. The results were better, too: He recorded 10 outs, pitching into the fourth inning while allowing two runs (one earned), walking three and striking out two. Most of the hits he allowed weren't all that hard-hit. Still, there's reason for skepticism that Sasaki can be any sort of contributor the rest of the way. He has thrown 59 four-seam fastballs through two rehab starts. Only one has gotten a swing-and-miss. The same issues with his fastball's shape remain from before his injury. The only short-term solution is finding a way to keep his fastball velocity ticking back up. 'I think it needs to keep trending up,' Roberts said of the quality of Sasaki's stuff. 'But this is his second rehab assignment. I think he was 4 to 7, which is really good, and then another uptick, which is our expectation, that should play here. But yeah, we've still got to build him up, and he's still got to perform.' (Top photo of Clayton Kershaw: Justin Edmonds / Getty Images) Spot the pattern.
