I spent last Saturday at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs photographing the 2025 CHSAA Boy’s Soccer Finals. It was a lot of fun as usual although a very long day with 4 matches.. Congrats to Crested (2A), Kent Denver (3A), Mullen (4A), and Regis (5A) on taking home the state crowns. The best match of the day was Crested Butte -Forge Christian as no goals were scored in regulation or overtime despite several chances. Crested Butte came back from a 3-1 deficit in penalty kicks to prevail 4-3.
Congratulations to Crested Butte and Grandview respectively for winning the 2A and 5A CHSAA boy’s soccer finals. Crested Butte defeated Lotus School for Excellence 3-1 and Grandview defeated Fossil Ridge by the same score.
Legacy defeated highly ranked Boulder 2-1 Thursday afternoon in boy’s soccer. The game was close throughout and Boulder appeared to have tied the game with 1:21 left but the goal was waived off after it was determined Boulder was offsides on the play. I’m sure both teams will go deep into the playoffs in a few weeks.
It was the battle of Broomfield between Legacy and Broomfield high schools in the 5A boy’s soccer quarterfinals Saturday. While Broomfield has been a perennial contender, Legacy was new comer to the party this year. The match featured physical play throughout and some incredible athletic plays including a bicycle kick. The two battled to a 1-1 tie after regulation so it was on to overtime. Broomfield pulled out a dramatic 2-1 win in double overtime to advance to the semifinals Wednesday.
The boy’s soccer game between Boulder and Legacy high schools was a classic tonight. Legacy defeated the reigning 5A state champs, 2-1. The game was filled with some great action and one of the most intense goal celebrations I’ve seen by the Legacy players. Let’s hope these two teams meet again in the playoffs.
I photographed the Colorado High School Boy’s Soccer Finals for 3A and 4A this past Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Denver. Â The weather was beautiful and there were some great soccer shots to be had. Â Kent Denver defeated Fountain Valley to take the 3A crown and Evergreen nipped The Classical Academy, 1-0, to take the 4A title.
