Trojans move on

The Northern Braves fumbled on their first three possessions and the West Ferris Trojans capitalized as they went on to defeat the Braves 41-7 in an NDA Senior Football quarter-final match at Northern Senior Secondary Tuesday afternoon.

Trojans quarterback Tyson Brear scored a pair of short rushing touchdowns in the first quarter and added a pair of touchdown throws to Dustin Anthony and Tyler Cowden.

Trojans running backs David Staniszewski, Steve Bertram and Mike Small added rushing touchdowns.

Trojans head coach Larry Tougas was happy with the Trojans performance.

"We had a very good first half," said Tougas.

"We were sharp on both sides of the ball and that was nice to see with such a short rest."

Braves quarterback Dan Ouellette scored the lone touchdown for the Braves who played most of the game without last year's offensive MVP Cam Rivard.

The Trojans win sets up a much anticipated semi-final match against the St. Joseph-Scollard Hall Bears. The Bears dropped their only game of the regular season 17-7 to the Trojans last Friday at Cundari Field. Saturday's semi-final takes place at 1:00 p.m. once again at Cundari Field.
