Northfield Stops Triton Steamroller
BOURBON - The expectations were high, maybe too high. The fans came out in droves to see their new-look Triton Trojans.This was the Triton football team with the winning record.Maybe the players, fans and coaches looked past Northfield and Culver Community to a date with Bremen.After all, Triton defeated Culver last year and only lost to Northfield in overtime. But the expectations came crashing down Friday night in Bourbon.After taking an early 6-0 lead over Northfield, the Triton offense came to a screeching halt and the Norsemen had just enough offense to win 9-6. Although it won't destroy this team, maybe it will remind everyone that this Triton program is still taking baby steps toward respectability in the Northern State Conference.
