Cheylin has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will take on the Ingalls Bulldogs at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Cheylin knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past nine contests -- so hopefully Ingalls likes a good challenge.
Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Cheylin walked away with it. They didn't even let Greeley County onto the board and left with a 80-0 win on Friday. Fans of Cheylin have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season ended as a blowout.
Cheylin can attribute much of their success to Pablo Bermudez, who rushed for 87 yards and three touchdowns, and Logan McCarty, who rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns. Bermudez's longest rush was for an incredible 76 yards. Brady Ketzner also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
