Trinity Survives Bowling Green 14-12

- This game had all the makings of a classic between two of Kentucky's best high school programs. When the dust finally settled on this battle royal the Trinity Shamrocks walked away victorious but got all they could handle from the Purples.

First Quarter

- The Shamrock's opening drive ended in a turnover when Chase Proctor intercepted a Travis Brown pass and returned it to the Trinity 25 yard line. That set up a Peter May 45 yard field goal and the Purples take a 3-0 lead.

- May adds a 44 yard field goal after the Purples defense forces and three and out. It is now 6-0

Second Quarter

- Trinity puts in Jackson Noe at QB and the results are positive as he leads them on a 10 play, 71 yard drive for a score. Trinity 7, Bowling Green 6.

- That drive proved to be a big momentum swing, as Trinity had a first and goal from the 3 yard line RB Derek Bishop got the ball and was stripped. As the ball rolled on the ground a Bowling Green defender tried to scoop up the fumble and score but mishandled the ball and Trinity recovered then scored on the next play. HUGE momentum swing on that key play.

- Trinity was driving toward the end of the half but was intercepted in the endzone by the Purples' Devon Daniel to end the half.

Third Quarter

- Bowling Green's opening drive saw a 52 yard run by Brandon Green to set up a 38 yard field goal attempt.

- BLOCKED, BLOCKED, BLOCKED...by Trinity's Ryan White. The Shamrocks respond with a 10 play drive where RB Derek Bishop ran all over the Purples' defense with 7 carries for 71 yards on the drive. Bishop capped it off with a 2 yard TD run for a 14-6 advantage for the Shamrocks.

Fourth Quarter

- Bowling Green caps off their drive in the 4th quarter with a 21 yard TD run by Brandon Green to cut it to a 14-12 advantage for Trinity.

- The Purples attempt a two point conversion to potentially tie the game. QB Scooter Hollis rolls right and can't find a receiver so he tries to speed to the corner but is stuffed by the Shamrock defense.

- Bowling Green's defense steps up and forces Trinity to punt the ball with five minutes to go in the game. The Purples are able to get a couple of first downs before failing to convert on a 4th and 18.

- Trinity runs out the clock and walks away with a fantastic victory in a really hard fought game.
