Seniors and team put up valiant effort, but falls short against rival Warriors
Visiting Woodbridge (3-6, 2-2) scored three touchdowns over the course of an eight-and-a-half minute period in the second half to upend University (3-6, 0-4), 19-14. The Trojans came out strong running the ball on Senior Night. Big runs by Seniors Damari Carter and Justin Tribble set up a five yard touchdown run by Diego Sosa to give the Trojans a 7-0 lead just over two minutes into the game. University couldn’t capitalize on three first half Woodbridge turnovers (two fumble recoveries by Senior Carl Oldham and an interception by Carter) and two trips to the red zone. After the second fumble, Uni was first and 10 at the Woodbridge 20-yard line. Carter took the ball around left end to the house and an apparent two touchdown lead, but a holding call reversed the score. Uni held a 7-0 lead at the half, but most felt the margin should have been bigger. As the MaxPreps AI algorithm might say, “don’t blame Oldham or Carter”.
