One of the more anticipated high school football playoff games in Colorado takes place on Friday night.

Two teams that possess a pair of prolific quarterbacks square off in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs, as Fairview travels to Highlands Ranch to take on Mountain Vista.

Mountain Vista (9-1) is the No. 3 seed in the 5A bracket, and the Golden Eagles had an opening-round bye last week. Fairview (7-4), the No. 14 seed, played last week and was able to outlast Arapahoe, 56-49, enabling the Knights to play another round.

In the latest High School On SI Colorado Top 25 poll, Mountain Vista is ranked No. 5.
