Kellon Trubey Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Pinecrest Academy Cadence got the W thanks in part to Kellon Trubey playing the best football he has all season. Trubey rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 203 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 73 yards.
Pinecrest Academy Cadence's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-2. Trubey and Pinecrest Academy Cadence are on the road again on Thursday to play Del Sol at 6:00 p.m.
