Mountain View and Meridian are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2017, but not for long. The Mountain View Mavericks are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Meridian Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Mountain View will be strutting in after a victory while Meridian will be coming in after a loss.
While Mavericks fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They had just enough and edged Woods Cross out 24-21. Given the Mavericks' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked ninth in Idaho, while the Wildcats are ranked 45th in Utah), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Meridian couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. The contest between them and Eagle wasn't particularly close, with Meridian falling 28-13. The Warriors have struggled against the Mustangs recently, as their matchup on Friday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Mountain View and Meridian were almost perfectly matched up when the teams last played back in November of 2023, but Mountain View suffered an agonizing 24-23 defeat. Can Mountain View avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
