Southwestern Heights was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Omar Mercado did his best to prevent it. Mercado turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 68 yards and a touchdown.
Mercado and Southwestern Heights will head out to square off against Lakin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Mercado took on the Broncs, he, rushing for 111 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 50 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
