GRANDVIEW: Coach Tom Doherty’s Wolves finished 10-3 and made it to the Class 5A state semifinals (where they lost to Valor Christian) and will face eight of the 10 opponents it had last season in 2022. Grandview opens against Overland on Aug. 26 at Stutler Bowl before a road game against one of its two new opponents (Fossil Ridge) in Week 2. Week 3 marks the third time the Wolves will face powerhouse Ralston Valley in a 13-game span after they met the Mustangs in the regular season and playoffs a year ago, splitting the two contests but winning the most important one, which came in the postseason. A precursor to league play is a home matchup with Pomona on Sept. 22 in a rematch of a game that was decided by just one point (in Grandview’s favor) last season. The Wolves open 5A League 7 play against rival Eaglecrest Oct. 1 on the Cherry Creek School District’s annual Military Appreciation Night and continues the gauntlet against Arapahoe the next week. A Week 9 matchup with rival Cherokee Trail gets the Wolves up for the regular season finale against two-time defending 5A state champion Cherry Creek, which dealt them their only league loss last season. Last season: Grandview’s 2022 opponents combined for a 67-48 record.
