The Trojans finished their season strong with 2 wins in the playoffs.

The first was against the Rocky Mountain House Rebels at home on October 26. The Trojans defence and special teams gave the offence good field position where we were able to capitalize. Drew Loosemore found Denton Robertson in the endzone for a touchdown late in the first quarter. Terryl Sherman added the extra point. Aiden Brown picked off the Rebels quarterback on the next drive and Loosemore plunged in behind his offensive line for a second score a short time later. With Sherman’s extra point the Trojans were up 14-0 in the first quarter. The second quarter had defenses settle in and the Trojans drove the field late in the 2nd. On the last play of the half Terryl Sherman hit a Field Goal to bring the Trojan lead 17-0 at half. In the third a punt single by Sherman brought the Trojans score to 18. A short time later the Rebels got on the board with a bust in coverage. They weren’t successful on the extra point and the score was 18-6. The Rebels finished the third with a Field Goal to bring the score 18-9. In the middle of the 4th quarter a Trojan drive was capped off with another Sherman Field Goal which brought the final score to 22 – 9. Loosemore spread the ball around hitting 5 different receivers in the game. The defence was lead from the line by rookies Jeff Kimball who had 5 tackles and Noah Segal on the end with 4 tackles. This win set up a date with the Drayton Valley Warriors on Nov 2 in Drayton Valley.

We got to Drayton Valley and saw the field was covered with a thick layer of sticky snow. It didn’t matter to the Trojans because we had a score to settle with the Warriors. When we were last in Drayton Valley on Sep 21, the Warriors beat us 28 – 7 so we were looking forward to a change to tip the scales. It was a dominant defensive game under coordinator Josh Millang and the Trojans defence kept the Warriors off the score sheet completely. The Trojans won 19 – 0. Terryl Sherman hit a Field Goal in the first quarter to go up 3 – 0. Then later in the second a Trojan drive was capped off by Drew Loosemore finding Aiden Brown in the endzone for a touchdown. Sherman added the extra point and at the end of the half Sherman added his second Field Goal of the night. The third quarter was a stalemate but rookie Justin Smith, in ofr the injured Brett Beirsto, found the endzone for the first time this year on a short run inside. Lead by the right side of the Trojan line Kevin Kittler, Evan Kohlman, Carson Fontaine, and his lead blocker Dominick Charpentier, SMITH stayed tight behind them and was untouched into the endzone. The point after was no good but the damage had been done and the Trojans drove home ending their season with a win. Loosemore went 9-21 in the snow for 219 yards passing. Drew Forster had 4 catches for 140 yards. Aiden Brown had 4 catches for 65 yards and Justin Smith had a catch out of the backfield for 14 yards. Smith also had 60 yards on 6 carries. Terryl Sherman led the defence in his last game of his high School career with 6 tackles and an assist, along with an interception and a pass knockdown. Aiden Brown had 4 tackles and an assist in his last game and Noah Segal had 4 tackles. The defence as a whole held the Warriors to 32 yards rushing which is a vast improvement from just over a month ago.

The wrap-up football banquet will be held on November 29th at the Camrose Composite High School Commons area at 5pm.
