St. James allowed the Daleville wishbone offense to travel 80 yards for a touchdown on their first drive of the game, but tightened up and never gave the Warhawks another
serious scoring threat, while two different quarterbacks led the Trojans down the field for touchdowns as St. James evened their regional record at 2-2 with a hard fought
14-7 quickly moving field position oriented win over the visiting Warhawks.

St. James picked up 26 yards on two Michael Stabler carries on the first two plays of their initial drive, but had to punt afterwards.   Daleville took over on their own 20 and the Warhawks Wishbone drove smartly, traversing 80 yards in 11 plays all on the ground.  Ricky Stewart had key runs of 15 and 17 yards, and he was rewarded with the touchdown carry from the Trojan 3 for the first score of the game.  Michael McHugh's extra point gave the Warhawks and early 7-0 lead.

The Trojan defense, smarting from the impressive drive, would only give up 95 yards to the Warhawks the remainder of the game.  After a shanked Daleville punt went out of bounds at the Warhawk 38, St. James brought in backup Matt Dean to lead a scoring drive.  A 23 yard catch and run from Dean to Jeff Cowden moved the ball down to the 15.  A key defensive offsides penalty on fourth down from the 6 resulted in a first down, and Dean kept the ball off of left end on the next play for the final 3 yards and a Trojan touchdown on the third play of the second quarter.  Graham Sutter's extra point tied the game at 7.

A St. James fumble on their next drive gave Daleville excellent field position at the Trojan 33, but two plays later, Daleville returned the favor with their own lost fumble, the only two turnovers of the game.  Neither team seriously threatened for the remainder of the half, and the score was deadlocked at 7.  During the halftime festivities, Miss Elizabeth Slayton was crowned the 2005 Homecoming Queen.

Daleville kept the ball for more than 7 minutes to start the third quarter, but could only get as close as the Trojan 25 before a holding penalty and a Justin Calloway sack pushed the Warhawks back, forcing a punt.  The teams traded punts, of which there were 15 total in this defensive struggle, but Graham Sutter's punt of 63 yards from deep in his own territory may have proven to be the biggest play of the game, changing the field position advantage mightily.  Early in the fourth quarter, with Will Martin back at the St. James helm, the Trojans took over at their own 44.  After an incomplete pass and a 2 yard quarterback scramble, Martin rared back and found Bruce Alter between defenders 20 yards downfield.  He wisely wove around the deepest defender and outraced chasers into the endzone on a 54 yard catch and run for a Trojan touchdown.  Graham Sutter's extra point gave St. James a 7 point lead with less than 9 minutes remaining in the game.

An intentional grounding penalty on Daleville on the next drive cost them big yardage, and St. James fielded the ensuing punt in Warhawk territory.  Jeff Cowden smartly recovered a fumble after a pass reception for one first down, but the Trojans had to punt and forced the Warhawks deeper in their own territory for one last chance drive.  From their own 13, Daleville could gain no yards on three plays and had no choice but to punt.  With 3 minutes left, Martin took charge and ran twice for 10 yards, each for first downs, and effectively ran out the clock to seal the crucial region victory as the returning alumni and current students "Danced in the Streets" afterwards.
