The Sunman-Dearborn Middle School Trojans hosted the Franklin County Wildcats for two explosive football games on Tuesday evening.
The 7th grade squads were first to battle, but it ended up being a one sided fight. The Trojans had 257 total offensive yards on the night. The Trojan quarterback was 4 for 4 in the air with 87 yards, and the ground game saw 22 carries for 170 yards. Leading rusher was Devon Donawerth who averaged over 11 yards per carry. Four Trojans found the end zone; Devon Donawerth (2TD), Andrew Struewing (2TD), Trevor Becker (1TD) and David Badescu (1TD). The Wildcats did score one touchdown on a long run, however when the clock finally ran down, the Trojans had won the contest 40-6.
Up next was the 8th grade teams and the result was much the same as the 7th grade. Isaiah Wheat led the offense to 265 total yards to the Wildcats 76. Wheat completed 6 of 11 passes for 142 yards, and handed to ball off 18 times to multiple Trojans for another 123 yards. Four Trojans punched their way into the end zone; Alex Maxwell (2TD), Liam Jones (1TD), Eric Rosemeyer (1TD) and Jack Hutchins (1TD). The Wildcats showed signs of scoring late in the game with great efforts, notably from Adam Mohr, but the Trojan defense was too much to overcome. The night ended with a 34-0 Trojan victory.
Both teams face very tough Ryle, Kentucky, teams this Thursday.
