Troy falls in Overtime, 21-20
The Warriors battled valiantly in their home opener against El Dorado (Placentia), but fell short in overtime, 21-20. Troy was stout on defense, holding El Dorado to 0 points in the opening half. Troy's Roman Arriaga connected to Aiden Spaeder for a first quarter touchdown, but the PAT was no good. In the second half, El Dorado scored on a fumble recovery to take a 7-6 lead. Arriaga and the Warriors offense drove the field, and scored on a 1 yard TD run by Arriaga. On the ensuing 2 pt. conversion, Arriaga once again found Spaeder in the end zone, to make the score 14-7. A late score by the El Dorado offense evened the score at 14-14, and both teams opted for overtime. El Dorado struck first, and kicked the PAT to make the score 21-14. Troy countered with a score of their own on a touchdown run from Shane Simpson, and opted to go for the 2 point conversion. El Dorado was able to stop the Warriors a yard short, taking away a 21-20 victory over Troy. The Warriors look to rebound this week against Northwood High School (0-1), in a home contest Thursday night at Fullerton District Stadium.
