Football Preview: Troup Tigers vs. Edgewood Bulldogs
The Troup Tigers will venture away from home to take on the Edgewood Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Troup is leaving town to face Edgewood after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Troup fell 53-40 to Shelbyville on Friday.
Despite their loss, Troup saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Bryce Wallum, who threw for 210 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, was perhaps the best of all. Another rusher making a difference was Brett Wells, who rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries.
Even if they lost, Troup's defensive line still kept up the pressure with five sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Sean Flood and Aj Dewberry who racked up four sacks between them. Dewberry didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Edgewood was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fourth straight defeat. They lost 49-27 to Commerce.
Troup took their victory against Edgewood in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 by a conclusive 45-21. The rematch might be a little tougher for Troup since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
