In the second match-up against the cross-town rival, senior quarterback Marcus Morgan had a two-yard touchdown run with 5:58 left in the first quarter to start off the Trojans in the game. Morgan connected with Grahm Goering ’21 for a six-yard touchdown pass to make the score 14-0 with 2.1 seconds left in the first quarter.
Touchdown runs by Trey King ’21 and Damarion Williams ’21 put the team up 35-0 into the fourth quarter. City High scored a touchdown with 3:21 left in the fourth quarter, but the team managed to stay tight and secured their spot in the third round of playoffs.
