Both Bennett and Paonia have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Saturday at 1:00 PM to determine who is worthy to move on. Bennett has flexed its offensive muscles in its last three matchups, so Paonia has a real workout ahead of it.
Bennett can now show off eight landslide victories after its most recent game. It crushed Highland last week, winning 48 - 0. Senior Rocky Lechman was a big part of the win as his strong performance led the charge (he ran for 130 yards and also punched in two touchdowns). This marked the 8th consecutive game in which Lechman had 100+ rushing yards. Senior Jesse Rodriquez banked an additional three TDs for the team. As for Paonia, it took its game last week by a score of 13 - 0.
Their wins bumped Paonia to 8-2 and Bennett to 10-0. While both teams are coming off of wins, only one will triumph this week. We'll find out soon enough who that will be.
