Saturday’s game vs Merino
By Gary King
Last Saturday’s Gilpin County High School Eagles varsity football game pitted the Eagles against Merino High School of the Plains League. It was a tough day for the Eagles losing the game with no points scored to Merino’s 50. Eagle’s coach Craig Ball said he was pleased with the great effort shown by the Eagles and he was able to play a lot of freshmenand sophomores giving them experience against one of Colorado’s top well coached teams. There were some highlights such as a 27-yard pass to Gilpin senior Jessie Alexander and two Merino fumbles recovered by the Eagles. This is the first time that Merino has visited Black Hawk to play on Gilpin County’s new field.
