Holly may have come out ahead in their last matchup, but they shouldn't get too cocky given who is up next. They will take on Merino in the second round of the playoffs at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Both of these red-hot teams will try to put the other on ice to keep their winning streaks alive.
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Holly ultimately got the result it was hoping for last week. They secured a 42-36 W over Sargent. Senior Kobe Davis, who punched in 3 rushing TDs and accumulated 253 passing yards, was a major factor in Holly's success.
Meanwhile, Merino earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Saturday. They put a hurting on Mancos to the tune of 40-0. The rankings were on Merino's side, but they didn't forecast quite such a lopsided result.
Their wins bumped Holly to 8-2 and Merino to 6-4. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
