The Limon Badgers will challenge the Bennett Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Bennett took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Limon, who comes in off a win.
Bennett is hoping to do what Flatirons Academy couldn't last Friday: put an end to Limon's winning streak (dating back to last season), which now stands at 15 games. Limon was the clear victor by a 35-14 margin over Flatirons Academy. Given the Badgers' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado football rankings (they are ranked 42nd, while the Bison are ranked 158th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Limon to victory, but perhaps none more so than Aiden Kollath, who rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave Kollath a new career-high in rushing yards. Camdyn Tacha was another key back, rushing for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: Limon was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 419 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 157 rushing yards in 15 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Limon wouldn't let Flatirons Academy keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Limon can thank Keagan Mellott and Carlos Nunez for forcing both of them.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 43-16, which was the final score in Bennett's tilt against Lamar on Friday.
Limon's victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 2-0. As for Bennett, they now have a losing record at 1-2.
Everything came up roses for Limon against Bennett when the teams last played back in November of 2021 as the squad secured a 45-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Limon since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
