Why this one matters

The Rams dominated the last meeting, a 60-14 victory at Crowley County on Aug. 30, 2024, and Merino will look to repeat that form at home. Both teams enter this matchup fresh (0-0) and will use this early-season test to tune up for conference play: Merino’s next game after this is at McClave on Sept. 5, and Crowley County opens a stretch at Calhan on Sept. 12.
