Blessed Trinity is on a four-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Milton is on a five-game streak of away wins (also dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. After each having a week off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Blessed Trinity will head into Friday's game hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big back in August (they won by 38) but last Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged Prince Avenue Christian out 23-21. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Titans have posted since September 8, 2023.
Ahmontae Pitts had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 77 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 77 yards.
Another reason for the win was Blessed Trinity's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Lucas Smalls-Allen and his two.
Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 11 points in total. All came courtesy of Noah Godhard: he went 3-for-3 kicking field goals for nine points.
