Johns Tenure Begins With Home Victory Over Caston

Posted
BOURBON — John Johns began his Triton coaching career with a victory Friday night in Bourbon.
Hosting the Caston Comets, the Triton Trojans scored 18 second-quarter points, and used that momentum to get a 25-13 victory.
In the win, Triton actually had fewer rushing yards, passing yards and first downs than its opponent, who committed 17 penalties for a whopping 150 yards.
In his first start at quarterback, Grant Stichter was 6 of 11 for 46 yards and two touchdowns, one to Josey Farmwald and the other to Jeremy Jones.
Jones also scored a defensive touchdown, recovering a fumble and taking it in for a score.
On the ground, Cole Creighbaum led the Trojans with 42 yards and a score on 15 carries, while Stichter also ran the ball nine times for 23 yards.
The 1-0 Trojans are back at home this Friday, hosting Northfield, a team that fell 39-13 at home against Bluffton in Week 1.
