BOURBON - After last weekend's heartbreaking 14-13 loss to LaVille, Triton head coach Rodney Younis and his squad needed to rebound and avoid a letdown against Knox.
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Triton exceeded expectations when Bryon Overmyer's 44-yard run secured the win for the Trojans. The problem for the Redskins was, Overmyer's run came with 7:35 left in the first quarter.
The Trojans outmanned and outclassed Knox en route to a 53-6 trashing on Triton's senior night in Bourbon Friday.
Triton broke into the scoring column at the 10:23 mark on a 12-yard run by Overmyer. A minute after Overmyer's second score of the evening, the senior fullback watched as fellow upperclassmen Richard Davis glided in from 29 yards out. Davis then caught a pass from quarterback Cory McClarnon to make the score 19-0 midway through the first quarter.
The Trojans put up two more scores before the first period mercifully came to an end.
Overmyer went for a touchdown hat trick on a 51-yard scamper. Senior McClarnon got into the action with a 16-yard run of his own.
Overmyer and McClarnon added runs of 39 and 41 yards, respectively, to make the halftime score 45-6.
Triton's final score of the evening came on a 3-yard rumble by another senior, Ben Bell.
Knox's lone score came on a 1-yard run by freshman Dane Christensen. Christensen finished the evening with negative three yards on seven carries.
The Trojan defense was stingy with the yardage, allowing just 85 yards in 48 minutes.
The Redskins' longest play from scrimmage came on an 18-yard run by freshman Coty Majchrzak. Majchrzak was the lone bright spot for the Redskins with 43 yards on 13 carries.
The Knox defense was more liberal in the yards allowed department.
Triton ran for 466 yards on the evening and attempted just two passes for no yards by McClarnon.
Overmyer, who rushed several times in the second half in hopes of breaking the school rushing record of 260 yards, finished with 226 yards on just 12 carries.
Bell broke the century mark as well with 117 yards on eight carries.
Triton honored its seniors before the game.
For Younis, this year's seniors hold a special place for him in his tenure as Triton head coach.
"I couldn't be any prouder of our seniors. Like I've said before, when I came here they were sophomores and they just totally bought into what we were doing. They knew that we were going to take our lumps but we were just going to keep plugging away at it," said Younis.
Friday night it was Triton handing out the lumps.
The Trojans, 3-5 overall and 2-4 in NSC, travel to Baugo Township to take on Jimtown. [[In-content Ad]]
