Preview notes

Wellington will aim to protect a one-point win from last season and defend its home field; Timnath will be looking for payback and to flip that narrow margin. Both teams have upcoming league matchups — Wellington heads to Berthoud next week (Oct. 3) and Timnath travels to Mead on Oct. 9 — so this nonleague contest has implications for momentum as the calendar turns.
