Midseason All-State Team: The Best Players at the Halfway Point

It seems like it was only yesterday that the state of Colorado was gearing up for an ordinary 2021 fall football season, something that evaded most since the last calendar year. Much has happened since then. Five weeks in and there have been an abundant amount of big time players all the way from the foothills to the great plains out in the east. Some have flown under the radar, while others have received the appropriate hype all season long. Without further ado, it is time to unveil my midseason All-State team. Can they keep it up in the second half of the 2021 campaign?   QB [player_tooltip player_id="206494" first="Bekkem" last="Kritza"] Fr. 6’4" 170 Fairview 2021 Stats: 126/196, 1,629 Yards, 12 TD, 3 INT     RB [player_tooltip player_id="22667" first="Gavin" last="Sawchuk"] Sr. 5’11" 185 Valor Christian 2021 Stats: 111 CAR, 6.8 YPC, 151.8 Yds/G, 759 Yards, 12 TD’s     RB [player_tooltip player_id="22753" first="Sam" last="Beers"]  Jr. Air Academy 2021 Stats: 96 CAR, 10.2 YPC, 195.0 Yds/G, 975 Yards, 16 TD’s   WR [player_tooltip player_id="153694" first="Josh" last="Dunn"] Sr. Broomfield 2021 Stats: 36 REC, 723 Yards, 20.1 Yds/Rec, 144.6 Yds/G, 7 TD’s   WR [player_tooltip player_id="242109" first="Rashad" last="Caldwell"] Jr. Denver South 2021 Stats: 30 REC 708 Yards, 23.6 Yds/Rec, 141.6 Yds/G, 9 TD’s,   TE Maddox Coleman Fr.
