The Daphne fans packed Bay Minette to watch the Trojans play the Tigers Friday night. As most of you know the Tigers have beaten the Trojans more than any other school in the region, but tonight was not going to be one of those times. The Daphne Trojans didn’t take much time to show they were ready to play football. The first play was a 22 yd run by #4 T.J Yeldon and 3 minutes later the Trojans were on the board 7-0.
The Tiger’s had a tough time getting any thing started against the Trojans. Our defense set the tone on the Tiger’s first possession by pushing the Tigers to negative yardage and finishing with a blocked punt for a touchdown adding to the scoreboard 14-0 with a Brandon Roberts extra point.
Russ Mosley did a great job with ball delivery to the receivers, #1 Israel Lamprakes, #6 Tyrell Holloway (RB), and #8 Justin Jackson who took it to the next level with their receptions and yards after the catch. By the end of the first half Trojans were up 35-0.
The whole team played an outstanding game on both sides of the ball. The defensive line was strong with stopping the Tigers behind the line scrimmage and applying pressure to the quarterback. The special teams had a run back by #5 Torren McGaster for a touchdown adding to the final score 42-0.
The Trojans will enjoy this victory for about 24 hours before starting practice this weekend to prepare for Foley. The Trojans will host Foley next Friday at 7:00pm and with both teams opening the season 2-0 this game should be exciting to the last second.
And a big THANKS to all the Daphne Fans for your SUPPORT …LOUD, PROUD and PUPLE!
