It was another big night for Ashton Wynn, who rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 164 yards and two touchdowns.
When it comes to explaining why Skyline lost, one person who can't be blamed is Justus Novotny. Despite the final result, he rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 63 receiving yards.
Trego's win was their third straight on the road, which bumped their overall record up to 6-2. Admittedly, the team didn't face the toughest opposition across those games, namely Skyline, Ness City, and Stockton. As for Skyline, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-4.
Trego will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Spearville at 6:00 p.m. As for Skyline, they will head out on the road to face off against Meade at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Meade knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past seven contests -- so hopefully Skyline likes a good challenge.
