High school football fans that made the trek back to Welcome Stadium for the second half of last night’s weather delayed game were not disappointed today. Trotwood-Madison fielded the same players but looked like a different team. If they didn’t have to count the 0-10 first half performance Thursday night the Rams would have walked away winners.
The Rams opened quickly scoring twice in the early minutes of the second half to make it 14-10. But the Mason Comets were determined not to let the previous night’s efforts slip away and drove for a fourth quarter touchdown (14-17).
Trotwood not known for it’s field goal abilities drove into filed goal range and to the delight of the crowds Mouhamadou Seck connected for three tying up the game. Mason answered with a field goal of their own.
Trotwood’s drive in the last minutes moved the ball inside the 45-yard-line with a stunning 30-yard pass to Justin Favors. The electrified crowd roared.
The next play ended the game but not for Trotwood. Mason picked off a Ram pass and downed the ball to run out the last minute on the clock. Final score 17-20.
Watch for Antwan Gilbert at next week’s match against Dunbar also at Welcome Stadium on September 5th 7pm. He had some great moves today scoring both touchdowns.
