Another wild game with St. Mary’s @ Lincoln! The Rams keep the winning streak alive with their cross-town rival with a come from behind win 31-27.
After the Rams ran the ball down to inside the Trojan 10 yard line ready to take the lead the Rams get stopped on downs and the Trojans went 95 yards and extended their lead to 10 up 27-17. With just over 4 min left, the Rams found a way to score with around 2 min left. Then it happened. Lincoln’s inside their 30 was under pressure and gifted an INT to the Rams. The Rams score right away with a TD pass and with 1:23 left in the game the Rams were up 31-27. The game was not over … yet, as both teams, which did not put up much points in the first half, put on one heck of a show in the 2nd half. Lincoln still had 1:23 left as the Rams squib kick was caught and run out of bounds. Unfortunately, the Trojans used up all of their timeouts much too early and now the pressure would be on throwing the ball. The Trojans were moving and were now in midfield. Still under a minute left there was hope for the Trojans. The end of the streak was in sight. Keyword, “was”. Lincoln QB appeared to have a WR open over the middle around the Rams 35. Keyword, “appeared”. Out of nowhere, the Rams DB runs across the middle and jumps up to his left and grabs the ball out of the air and comes down with the ball. That’s right, the Rams get another INT, this time to seal the deal. The Rams go into V formation and run out the clock. The Rams win 31-27 and the streak continues.
One heck of a game!
The Rams will remain in D1 for the playoffs after securing once again the TCAL championship. All I can say is that don’t sleep on the St. Mary’s Rams. But, also, don’t sleep on the Edison Vikings. Edison handle the Trojans with more ease early on in the season.
