Rangely and Akron go head to head on Saturday at 1:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Akron will need to watch out since Rangely have now posted big point totals in their last four contests.
Akron have to be hurting after a devastating 22-54 loss at the hands of Dayspring Christian Academy last week. On a positive note, senior Justin Traxler put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns on 21 carries. In fact, with 19 tackles Traxler was a force on both sides of the ball.
Meanwhile, Rangely brought a three-game winning streak into their game against Plateau Valley last Saturday; they left with a four-game streak. Rangely took the contest and then some with a 52-6 victory over Plateau Valley. Followers of Rangely probably expected little less of the squad in a season in which they have collected seven blowout victories.
Rangely's win lifted them to 8-1 while Akron's defeat dropped them down to 5-4. Last week Rangely relied heavily on senior Devin Ramirez, who rushed for 229 yards and 2 touchdowns on 17 carries. It will be up to Akron's defense to limit his damage.
