The Trojans were out gained 317-73 yards on the ground, though they had the edge through the air 103-7. The Red Tornadoes, though, just couldn’t be knocked off schedule, as they amassed an 18-11 edge in first downs, and didn’t turn the ball over.

Troy had three turnovers on the night as Evan Woodward was 3-for-10 for 93 yards and a pick, while running for 15-yards on 14 carries to get their lone score. Justice Chimics also aired it out, going 1-for-2 for 12 yards with an interception. He also caught two passes for 37 yards, and had five carries for 12 yards.

In the second quarter Feliciano scored on a 2-yard run with 41 seconds on the clock to cap a 14-play, 88-yard drive where they had the ball for 7:16.

Then, with 5:16 left in the third quarter, Stellar ran one in from 44-yards out to cap off a 6-play, 74-yard drive that saw them have the ball for 3:08.

Troy responded, though, as Evan Woodward punched one in from 3-yards with 41 seconds left in the third. That ended a 7-play, 80-yard drive where the Trojans held the ball for 4:35.

Chimics added the point after to cut it to 21-7.

Down by just two touchdowns, Troy had a chance to claw back into the game.

However, MCA struck quick on their next possession, as Michael Ferronato ran it in from 33-yards out with 11:12 left in the game. They needed just three plays that drive to go 39-yards for the score.

The Red Tornadoes then scored the final touchdown of the game with a 52-yard run from Diaz with 3:26 left to play. 

The loss may end Troy’s season, but this the fourth straight season they’v ended the year in the district semifinals.
