Mt Healthy got a healthy dose of the Trotwood-Madison Rams last Friday in the first round of the 2009 Ohio football playoff season. Jerimiah Tolbert (#25) of Mt Healthy tried early and often to break the Ram defense but kept running into walls built by Christian Townsend and Jordan Paschal.
Tolbert's counterpart on the Rams offense is running back Antwan Gilbert. At times it seemed the Owls could stop Gilbert's incessant penetration.
Mt Healthy tried sending the ball with Tracy Barnes but that didn't work too well either.
Trotwood stuck with Gilbert and he dominated the first half with 211 yards scoring four touchdowns.
Gilbert was all smiles on the bench.
Near the end of the fourth quarter Israel Green (#25), a surprise substitution for Gilbert, made a midfield break and ran it in for the final touchdown and the 41-6 win.
Green is a freshman that is showing enough promise to be included on the varsity squad.
The Rams took a moment to rejoice on the field after the game but this Friday they will face Turpin. Turpin is undefeated this season and will undoubtedly spend this week studying the tapes to learn how to stop the the Rams running game. Trotwood and Turpin will play Friday night at 7:30 at the Princeton High School stadium. Advance tickets are $7 at Trotwood High School from 7-3:15 daily. $9 admission at the gate.
