Fairview and Merritt go head to head on Friday at 7:30 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. Fairview have bulldozed their previous four opponents, so Merritt might have their hands full.
After having lost a blowout in their game two weeks ago against Hobart, Merritt were happy to find some success last Friday. Merritt snuck past Sayre with a 27-22 victory. Merritt found their leader in underclassman sophomore Drake Carnes, who rushed for 131 yards and 2 touchdowns on 12 carries.
Meanwhile, five stomps in ten total games is nothing to scoff at, and that's exactly where Fairview stand after their most recent match. They blew past Oklahoma Bible 41-17. The win was familiar territory for Fairview, who now have five in a row.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 7-3. While both teams are coming in off of wins, only one will triumph this week. Who will it be ? Check back in with MaxPreps after the game is over for details.
