The Denver Post will host a media day for high school football programs in Colorado at the news organization’s building at 101 W. Colfax Avenue on Saturday, Aug. 1.
Other media outlets will also be in attendance, including the Colorado Springs Gazette, Fort Morgan Times, Canon City Daily Record, Fort Collins Coloradoan. Because of the volume of people we expect to attend, we are limiting each program to bring each school’s athletic director, head football coach and two key players.

The day will be an opportunity for us and others to shoot photos and videos, and get interviews for stories for the coming season, as well as to collect story ideas for future coverage.
