Week 3 Football (DPS, Trotwood, Three Rivers Conf))

 Here's the Weekly Recap /  Headlines of Trotwood, Dayton Public Schools and Three Rivers Cinference 

Trotwood Holds Off Springfield in Game of the Week

The Trotwood Rams honored coach Maurice Douglass during the game as the current Springfield coach helped lead the Rams to their first title. However the Springfield coach wanted nothing more than to sneak out with a win, with their starting quarterback sidelined.

However, the Rams took advantage of some early miscues, came out firing and was able to hold off the Cats in the 2nd half of a intense 21-20 victory at Trotwood HS. 

Trotwood DB Michael Smith ran a interception back on the Wildcats first drive, which set the tone for the Rams.

Trotwood would take a 21-14 lead into half, and would preserve that lead as the Wildcats would miss a extra point to tie the game, then fabolous freshman Darius Dennis ended the game with a huge interception to send the Rams into a frenzy, and send them to a 2-1 record. 

WR Armani Rodgers was brilliant early, and the combo of him and Star QB Tim Carpenter shined brightly in the 1st half.

Springfield would dictate the 2nd half of the game, but was not able to turn that into a win, as the Wildcats now sit at 1-2 in the early season heading into a big rivalry game at Wayne HS this weekend.

 Trotwood defense was led by Jamarcus Whyce with 5 tackles and a forced fumble while Keymaurie Henderson led the team with 8 tackles and a sack.
