Head Coach Chase Courtney said, “Good win last night against Franklin County. I didn’t like our energy or effort in the first half. We came back a little more focused and executed at a much higher level. Quarterback Von Magee, Wide Receiver Braeden Gregory, and Running Back Ty Hilton continue to lead us offensively. Jeonni Fairley had a nice game defensively. With all the injuries and circumstances, we have to feel good about where we are, but we have to just keep learning and growing. We start region play this week against Jefferson Davis County, who is always elite. We need a tremendous week of practice with maximum effort.”
The Trojans will be on the road next week, playing at Jefferson Davis County on Friday, October 3, as they strive to continue a three-game winning streak.
