Murray prepares for rematch with Colo-Nesco
MURRAY — Despite already owning an 87-44 victory over Colo-Nesco this season, the 10-0 Murray football team knows it will be in for a challenge when the two teams meet again here Monday in the second round of the Eight-Man football playoffs.
Colo-Nesco, 7-3, started the season with back-to-back losses — to Melcher-Dallas and Adair-Casey — before reeling off five straight wins. Then, came the home loss to Murray, before the Royals finished the regular season with a win, and then avenged their loss to Melcher-Dallas in the opening round on Friday, 58-42.
"They're a senior-dominated group," Murray head coach Keith Shields said. "I think they start seven out of eight guys on offense are seniors. They're a team that has just dropped down to Eight-Man. They've kind of figured out what their identity was, and they've done a good job of playing to their strengths since then."
