Calhan couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They had to suffer through a 40-0 loss at the hands of the Akron Rams. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bulldogs of the 47-22 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in November of 2021.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Akron to victory, but perhaps none more so than Kolten Randel, who threw for 191 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 passes. Randel's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending three passes in addition to snagging an interception. Anderson Filla helped Randel out on the ground, rushing for 123 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, while also picking up 57 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Calhan will face off against West Grand at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Akron, they will host St. Mary's at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
