Trenton had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They lost 47-27 to the Allen Park Jaguars. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last six times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
When it comes to explaining why Trenton lost, don't look at Anthony Hawkins. Despite the final result, he rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 56 yards and one TD on only five passes.
Allen Park's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Ben Klos, who threw for 228 yards and three TDs while completing 78.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 41 yards and a pair of scores. That's the most passing yards Klos has posted since back in September of 2024. Allen Park's leading receiver Xavier Liepe was Klos' top target yet again, picking up 136 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns, while also rushing for 33 yards.
