A Brady Watrin interception gave the Rebels the ball near midfield late in the first half, however, a fumble was snatched out of the air and returned 75 yards for a touchdown by Joey Mark.  Preston Snobl added the two point conversion and Barnesville took a 28-0 lead into halftime.

"I felt we played a very solid game," said Head Coach Bryan Strand of the Trojans.  "Our kids were prepared and they played with a ton of confidence.  Adam Tonsfeldt played another outstanding game.  He is hard to see and does such a great job hiding the ball that one can never truly tell if he has it or not.  I could go on and on about who played well, but truly it was the entire theam that played well from our specials to the O and D.  We lost one of our best sophomores in the game as Aaron Schiefert, who broke his collarbone on our last offensive play of the game.  He was really stepping up for us and will be a great player in the future.  He will be missed the next couple of weeks.  I do want to say I have the Best coaching staff around.  They put in the hours last week and it paid off.  Our kids were ready and that is a testament to the guys I have working around me.  They are the best around!" 

The Trojans (10-2) will now play Minneapolis North Community High School (11-0) at 11:30am Friday at US Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis.  North defeated Redwood Valley 20-12 in New Ulm on Friday night.

"We will have our hands full this week going against North who is the #1 QRF team in our class by a lot," noted Strand.  "I am going to say they will have trouble with our style of offense as I doubt they have see it before.  I have heard that they have good skill position players and a great QB so we will need to be at the top of our game.  Every game now is a blessing and I feel that if we play well and prepare well we could find ourselves in that state championship game over Thanksgiving weekend!"
