Tri-Village Scrimmages Troy Christian

The Tri-Village Patriots completed their final tuneup before the season against Troy Christian. Tri-Village got off to a shaky start, but recovered their composure and made progress against the Eagles. Both teams ran a no huddle offense with the Eagles using the shotgun and mainly featuring the run. On the other hand, the Patriots used a spread offense and in the early part of the scrimmage, they were a pass first team. This kept the referee's busy as both teams ran plays in a rapid fire manner.

But Troy Christian came out strong and got the 1^st two scores on their 1^st two possessions. It was not looking pretty. But the Patriots came back and got a defensive stop.

Troy Christian would score a total of 4 times while Tri-Village would score once.
