Trinity found their leader in sophomore Wes Dresselhaus, who rushed for 233 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. The Wolves are 2-1 when Dresselhaus posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 1-4 otherwise. Miller Brown was in the mix too, providing Trinity with two TDs.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Trinity proved: they limited Weed to a paltry -1.8 yards per carry. The team can thank Dresselhaus for the heroic effort on defense: he. Trinity's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 3.84 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 6.67 on average over their last five games.
Meanwhile, Mt. Shasta waltzed into their game on Friday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They came within five points of losing the streak, but they secured a 12-7 W against the Braves.
Trinity better keep an eye on Leo Martinez. He was instrumental in Mt. Shasta's win, rushing for 65 yards and one score. Martinez showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 62 yards.
Mt. Shasta's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB three times. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Caleb Sheets, Benedict Gazave, and Trevor Lanier, who each picked up one sack apiece. Sheets was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Mt. Shasta's victory bumped their record up to 5-3. As for Trinity, their win bumped their record up to 3-5.
Trinity beat Mt. Shasta 22-14 when the teams last played back in November of 2024. Will the Wolves repeat their success, or do the Bears have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
