Trotwood-Madison moves to 2-0 with 41-8 victory against Dunbar
Final: Trotwood beats Dunbar 41-8.
7:53, fourth: Trotwood leads 41-8. Ashton Jackson, a 5-10 sophomore, ran 62 yards for a touchdown to widen the advantage. With the game in hand, I’m heading down to the field.
End third quarter: Trotwood leads 34-8.
2:42, third: Trotwood leads 34-8. Israel Green caps a 27-yard drive after a poor Dunbar punt with a 6-yard scoring run, his second touchdown of the game.
11:24, third: Trotwood leads 27-8. Trotwood opened the second half with an onside kick attempt, and Dunbar took the possession 46 yards in two plays for its first score. The Wolverines add a 2-point conversion.
Halftime: Trotwood leads 27-0. The Rams have scored on two runs, an interception return, a pass and a safety, using a varsity of players. Dunbar has struggled on offense, using only one sustained drive to keep deep into Trotwood territory before throwing an interception. Trotwood’s Israel Green has rushed for 106 yards on 11 carries.
2:37, second: Trotwood leads 27-0. After recovering a punt fumbled by Dunbar, Trotwood gets a 9-yard scoring pass from Michael Simpson to Kendrick Mallory. Dunbar made it as far as the Trotwood 4-yard line on the previous possession before throwing an inetrception.
9:02, second: Trotwood leads 21-0. After earning a safety on a sack earlier in the game, Verondtae Wilkinson returns an interception 40 yards for a touchdown. Dunbar has nothing going on offense.
10:53, second: Trotwood leads 14-0. RB Israel Green took the first play of the drive 57 yards for a score, breaking three tackles along the way (at 5-9, 200 pounds). Dunbar doesn’t have a first down.
End first quarter: Trotwood leads 8-0. After fumbling on the first play of the game, Trotwood has kept control with a touchdown and a safety. Trotwood QB Michael Simpson has completed passes to five different receivers (49 yards total).
2:01, first: Trotwood leads 8-0. Trotwood defensive lineman Verondtae Wilkinson sacked Dunbar quarterback Kris Hall in the end zone after three straight Dunbar false starts to increase the Rams’ lead.
6:25, first: Trotwood leads 6-0. After fumbling on the first play of the game, Trotwood gets an 11-yard touchdown pass from Michael Simpson to Michael McCray. The play capped a 70-yard smooth drive.
PREGAME: Both teams enter this game at Welcome Stadium 1-0, as Trotwood topped Thurgood-Marshall at home and Dunbar earned a road victory against Valley View last week.
They have played in each of the last two seasons, and Trotwood has won both, 45-0 in 2009 at Welcome Stadium before a much closer 28-21 last season at Trotwood.
