FOOTBALLTroy 46, Logos 40

MOSCOW — The visiting Trojans rallied from a 28-0 deficit to take down the Knights of Moscow in a Whitepine League Division I game.

“We spread them out and started passing the ball and picking on some of their receivers,” Troy coach Shawn Buchanan said. “We saw some openings, and once we saw their defense going to a two-man front, our quarterback Makhi Durrett ran the ball. Chandler Blazzard with his stops on defense and blocking and offense — just everything. They all played great; all the kids did.”

Durrett figured in all six touchdowns for the Trojans (3-4, 2-4) and totaled had 280 yards of total offense. For the Knights (3-5, 2-4), Jack Driskill finished with 162 passing and 131 rushing yards, throwing for four touchdowns and running for one.
