On Thursday, the Banneker Trojans were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 12-6 to the McIntosh Chiefs.
Banneker's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Tytianna Ramsey, who rushed for 100 yards on only ten carries. Ramsey is becoming a predictor of Banneker's success: when she posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 4-2 (and 1-4 when she doesn't).
Even if they lost, Banneker's defense still kept up the pressure with seven sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Ramsey.
A big part of McIntosh's win came down to the chemistry between Taegan Reiter and her top target Amelia Angier. Reiter threw for 109 yards and two touchdowns while Angier picked up 62 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Banneker now has a losing record at 5-6. As for McIntosh, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 8-3.
