Published 11:14 am Monday, August 25, 2014

The Hamilton County High School Trojans varsity football team played a scrimmage game against the Trinity Christian Academy Eagles and won with the final score of 25-6.

La’Marcus Webb set the tone for the night taking the opening kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown, but it was called back due to an illegal block way behind the runner. However, the Trojans were not to be held in check as they scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. Justin Culbreath threw a 14 yard scoring strike to Kentwan Daniels for the first score. Malik Randolph and Ethan Land who both play on opposite ends of the defense, teamed up to set up one of the big plays of the night. Ethan crashed in from one side to knock the ball loose from the runner and Malik picked it up and scampered 59 yards to set up the score by Daniels.

Later, Kentwan used his feet to scamper for 44 yards to score the second TD of the night. Both point after kicks failed making the score 12-0 Trojans at the end of the first quarter.

Justin Culbreath scored on a three yard run in the second quarter and Ashlyn Brady kicked the extra point to make it 19-0 at the half. Turnovers by both teams slowed the offenses for a little in the first half, but the Trojan defense stepped up for the night getting three interceptions and one fumble.

The tremendous heat and humidity really challenged both teams, but the home team seemed to overcome the weather conditions and put two more scores on the board.

A two yard run by junior running back and linebacker, Malik Randolph in the third quarter made the score 25-0. The defense led by seniors, Marcus Williams, Hunter Hill and Deangelo Robinson, only allowed a net three yards rushing for the visiting Eagles. La’Marcus Webb intercepted two passes and Clyde Tucker picked off one of the errant balls. The Trojans substituted liberally near the end of the third quarter and all of the fourth quarter.

The Eagles finally scored in the fourth quarter after two 15 yard penalties put them deep in Trojan territory.

The Trojans head south to play AAAA Fort White on Friday, August 29 at 7:30 p.m.
