From the opening kickoff when Southwestern was penalized for off-sides, things were out of sync for the Trojans. From there it got worse as the Dobbs Ferry Eagles cruised to a 39-0 victory to capture the NYSPHSAA Class C Championship. The improbable journey came to an end simply to a better team. The Eagles racked up over 550 yards of offense while their stingy defense held the Trojans the less than 100 yards of total offense. The Eagles offense had three rushers gain over a hundred yards.
Jake Swan, the Trojans leader and sparkplug was held to 25 yards and 30 yards receiving. Swan finished the game with 12 tackles defensively,but that is not what you want from your top defensive back. Tyler Uber, Peter Trathan and Ryan Schutte combined for another 30 tackles. but that is not what you want from your top defensive back. Swan was honored with Top Defensive Back of the game. Chad Cooper won the Sportsmanship Award.
The Trojans finished the game with a loss, but every other team in the state except Dobbs Ferry did the same. It is quite an honor to play for the state championship in the Carrier Dome. The entire Jamestown area is proud of the Trojans accomplishment.
