This week, Gilpin County and Soroco square off against each other on Friday at 7:00 PM. Soroco will need to watch out since Gilpin County has posted big point totals in its previous four matchups.
Gilpin County crushed Plateau Valley last week, winning 58 - 8. Gilpin County especially relied on senior Austin Boulter, who ran for 223 yards and also punched in two touchdowns, and senior Jack Ball, who earned two touchdowns and 79 yards rushing the ball. Ball has now scored at least one TD in the past four consecutive games.
Meanwhile, the result looked promising given the state ranking disparity, but Soroco did even better than expected last week. It picked up a decisive 'W' against Rangely last week, finishing up at 48 - 6. Junior Jace Logan was a big part of the win as his strong performance led the charge (he ran for 234 yards and also punched in two touchdowns). Logan was also an imposing presence on the defensive end with 14 tackles. Logan went long for a 60-yard TD catch in the third quarter, one of the game's most exciting plays. Senior Kendall Hood was in the mix too, providing Soroco with two touchdowns.
Their wins bumped Soroco and Gilpin County up to an identical 4-1. With both Gilpin County and Soroco swaggering in after impressive performances, we'll see which team will step up to teach the other some humility.
