The Trenton Bulldogs hit the field of C.F. Russell Stadium for the first time on Friday night, with Brandon Boswell’s team entertaining their home fans with a team scrimmage.
During the course of 40 plays, six touchdowns were scored, with Lathan Croy and Avery Cooksey connecting on a end zone strike to open the scoring, followed by a five yard touchdown carry by Croy, the anticipated senior starting quarterback. Mark Trump added a scoring run for the Bulldogs, breaking numerous tackles on his way to the west end zone, before Sam Schilling stepped in front of an intended pass to the tight end to grab an interception, representing the defensive highlight of the night for THS.
With more youth seeing playing time as the scrimmage progressed, sophomore Jaren Whitney took a long run down to the five-yard line, with Lucas Clark scoring on the following play. A Schilling touchdown run finished the scoring.
