Colorado Sweet 16

(1) Broncos win Super Bowl 50 vs. (4) Valor Christian wins 5A Football Title

The Broncos won their third title in team history, riding an all-time great defense. Von Miller wins the Super Bowl MVP leading a defense that stopped Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady and Cam Newton throughout the playoffs.

Valor Christian caps off another championship season after losing in the 5A title game just a season ago. Dylan McCaffrey, who is one of the top rated pro-style passers commits to Michigan.

This is just a tough draw for Valor Christen. The team had an unbelievable season in route to another championship. However, the Broncos advance on.

WINNER: Broncos

(2) Coors Field hockey vs. (3) Michael Malone named Nuggets’ head coach

It was very interesting to see hockey played at Coors Field, no matter how bad some of the seats were.  The city got an awesome mix of college and pro hockey over the span of a couple weekends. This was the perfect event to transition from the Broncos Super Bowl honeymoon.

Honestly, any hire would have been an upgrade over Brian Shaw for the Nuggets. Michael Malone was a solid hire for Denver and has done decent things with the team so far. Remember that this is a very young team and patience is a virtue with the Nuggets.

The Michael Malone hire advances because Denver has already forgotten about the stadium series, while Malone should be a large part of the Nuggets’ future.

WINNER: Michael Malone
