BOURBON - Triton won only its third playoff game in school history with a 27-0 shutout of North Miami Friday.
Scott Blackford scored two touchdowns on the ground, as well as throwing for a 8-yard scoring strike to Kyle Gould in the first quarter.
Blackford made it 14-0 in the second quarter when he scored from a yard out, and David Sauer's 27-yard jaunt made it 21-0 in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Blackford capped off the scoring with a 3-yard run.
Shain Ross led the Triton running attack 107 yards on 12 carries. Blackford added 73 yards, while Sauer got 76. Triton ran up over 270 yards of offense on the ground.
Jack Hackworth caught two passes for 43 yards.
The Trojan defense held the vaulted running attack of North Miami, the 1993 Class A State Champions, to only 78 yards on 38 attempts.
Triton (3-6) now travels to South Adams Friday for the second round of the sectional.
