(Bollinger

20 - 14
Highlights: For the first 44 minutes of the game, the
Trojans defense simply stymied the
homestanding Eagles. Danny Dean's 7 yard touchdown run
was
the only offensive tally in
the first half. The Eagles fumbled the second half opening
kickoff
to set up the Stuckey touchdown, and Cameron's late
run sealed the deal, as Montgomery
Academy finally mustered some offense in the last four minutes.
However,
they were unable to recover an onside
kick after the second touchdown with
only seconds
remaining as the Trojans won their first ever game against a city rival.

Highlights: Powerful St. Paul's came to town
with Greg Byrd and Vic Dubose alternating the quarterbacking and
kicking duties, passing and running
their
way to a victory over the Trojans. Dubose threw two TD passes,
while Byrd threw one
pass and added an early two point conversion pass on a
bobbled snap. Danny Dean's
first quarter touchdown run was one of only two serious scoring threats
in the game by St.
James. The other, in the
final
quarter, was stopped on fourth down at
the St. Paul two.
The Trojans were held to only 16 yards rushing and 100 yards
overall, while St. Paul
rushed
for 138 yards and added another 144 in the
air. Three interceptions also hurt the
