Ridge Spring-Monetta scored on its first possession and would go on to score two more touchdowns in the first quarter of play for a 20-0 lead.

“After the first drive,, they (Ridge Spring-Monetta) didn’t let up. They were gaining five or six yards every carry,” Whitmire assistant coach Chris Martin said.

The Wolverines gave up another score in the second quarter and trailed 27-0 going in to the locker room at halftime.

Whitmire's offense could not put any points on the board vs. the Trojans and managed only 80 total yards. The Wolverines longest play from scrimmage was a 21-yard completion from quarterback Traccey Ruff to wide receiver Doug Inman.
