Wheat Ridge (2-4) and Standley Lake (5-1) are set to face off this Thursday at 6:00 PM. Both teams are strolling into their matchup after big wins in their previous games.
Wheat Ridge brought the heat last game after its low-scoring effort (seven points) in the match before. It dominated last week, steamrollering George Washington 41 - 6. No one had a larger role in the success than senior Payton Dietrich, who brought his A game into the contest. He ran for 57 yards and also punched in two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Standley Lake took its contest against Thornton last week by a conclusive 33 - 8 score. Standley Lake brought some defensive heat, getting to the quarterback for nine sacks.
The last time they met, Wheat Ridge was the 36 - 9 victor. It was able to move the ball a lot more (331 yards compared to 157 yards), a gap Standley Lake will be looking to close this time around. The rematch might be a little tougher for Wheat Ridge since the team will be on Standley Lake's home field this time. We'll soon find out whether that makes a difference or not.
