Trinity remains winless

TRINITY — The final home game of the season was Friday night, and the Tigers honored the soon to be graduating senior athletes, cheer, dance and band members.
Prior to kickoff, Air Rescue landed on the field and delivered the game ball to Senior Ethan Ramsey, who spent months in the hospital with a severe blood clot in the brain during his sophomore and junior years.
The Tigers began the game with the ball and took one minute to score on a 48-yard run by Jameel Johnson. Leading for the first time this season, the Tigers kicked the ball to the Warren Warriors and good special teams play, had them starting from their own 16-yard line. Seven minutes later the Warriors scored and with the extra point, took a 7-6 lead over the Tigers.
The Tigers took 2 ½ minutes for a 54-yard drive capped by a 19-yard touchdown run by Jameel Johnson and the 2-yard conversion by Cole Hortman gave the Tigers a 14-7 lead. The next offensive play by the Warriors tied the game with a 53-yard run and ended and exciting first quarter with a 14-14 tie.
The Tigers were stopped on their next possession at the Warrior 25-yard line, but the Tiger defense was unable to keep them out of the end zone and the Warriors marched the ball 75-yards to take a 20-14 lead over the Tigers. Both defenses were able to make crucial stops and the Warriors took the lead into halftime.
The second half was not favorable to the Tigers as they were unable to get the early explosiveness on offense back and the defense was unable to find a way to stop the Warriors from scoring.
The Tigers final home game of the 2023 season ended with a 34-14 loss.
Trinity’s final game will be on the road against Anderson-Shiro on Friday.
