BOURBON â With one last flying leap Triton defensive back Zak Shively spread out over the goal line for a third-quarter go-ahead touchdown.
From there, the junior quarterback half of the âZak Attackâ took over for the Trojans.
For the game, Shively threw a trio of touchdown passes â one each to Jordan Koontz, Jake Tutorow, and Taran Kennedy â rushed untouched for an 18-yard score, and plunged in for a 2-point conversion following his 19-yard fumble return to lead the Trojans to a 34-19 win over visiting West Central in Class A Sectional 33 first-round action Friday.
WALKERTON â It wasnât the sectional start John Glenn wanted, but the Falcons will take it.
Down a pair of starters and coming off a Northern State Conference championship loss and a two-day break, Glenn got off to a bumpy start Friday.
PLYMOUTH â They say it is a game of inches, and Plymouthâs Rockies certainly believe that this morning.
After a valiant effort against a very talented and athletic South Bend Washington team the Rockies watched a 40-yard field goal attempt by the Panthersâ Cesar Mercado hit the cross bar, bounce in the air and fall good, ending a season of maniacal ups and downs in a 31-29 final score.
BREMEN â Heroes are made in the postseason, and Bremenâs Braxston Miller became one in Friday nightâs Class 2A Sectional 26 opener.
After a Whitko field goal to start overtime, Millerâs 3-yard touchdown gave Bremen a 20-14 victory to put the Lions in the second round against Fairfield, a 45-0 winner over Woodlan.
âItâs just too much, and the crowd just went wild,â Miller said of his game-winning score. âItâs just overwhelming. Itâs awesome.â
Bremen coach Bob Holmes was ecstatic with how his team came through in the clutch.
LAKE STATION â Culver put up 21 points in the first quarter en route to a 49-7 thrashing of Lake Station in the Cavaliers' Class A, Sectional 33 opener on the road Friday.
Michael Salary finished with two touchdowns and a game-leading 151 yards rushing, while Cole Flora scored another two touchdowns and rushed for 104 yards for the defending sectional champions.
Collin Stevens and Tucker Schultz also scored for the Cavs, who outrushed their hosts 436-139 yards.
Culver will host Whiting â which beat LaVille 42-13 Friday â next week.
