Trojans Drop 60 in a Half

It was a mismatch from the beginning.  Cotter football is in a serious gulley.  R-P football is a strong program that has yielded good teams for decades nearly uninterrupted.  The score was going to be lopsided.  But the Trojans put 60 on the Ramblers, in the game’s first two quarters.  In a contest that had a one hour, forty-minute first half, and about a 40-minute second (running time), Davin Thompson’s group authored a D-1 versus D-2 win.  Sophomore QB Malachi Bunke threw all four of his TDs in the first quarter (6-12, 127 yards, 4 TDs), hitting Justin Ruberg (2-23, 2 TDs receiving), Kobe Lind (2-68 yards, TD receiving) and Vinnie Mason (30-yard TD reception).  Triton Meldahl (6-130, 2 TDs rushing) and Brady Gile (16-112, TD rushing) each went over 100 yards rushing while Peyton Morrison added a 12-yard TD scamper.  Hayden Kahoun added a defensive score, a steal-away 30-yard interception return TD.  The Trojans had fun, including getting senior offensive lineman Sam Kingsley a punt return (12 yards).  R-P ran their win streak to three via a 60-0 win.  They are now 1-0, 3-1.
