Caliche (2-2) is five games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. It squares off against Merino (4-0) this Friday at 7:00 PM. Merino will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Caliche defense that has allowed an average of 31.25 points per game.
Caliche was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap two weeks ago as it fell 36 - 30 to Gilpin County. The team got a solid performance out of junior Adam Zink (he ran for 201 yards and also punched in two touchdowns); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. As for Merino, it got a somewhat close 14 - 8 victory over McClave last week.
The last time they met, Merino was the decided 49 - 0 victor. Will Caliche avenge its loss? We'll find out soon enough.
