Montgomery – Trinity Presbyterian was too talented and too deep for the Goshen Eagles Friday night as the Wildcats ran away with a 47-6 win at Trinity’s Ragsdale-Boykin Field in Montgomery.

Trinity improved to 3-0 with the Class 3A, Region 4 victory, while Goshen stands at 0-1 after their first contest. Trinity was in Class 4A last season and dropped to 3A in the AHSAA reclassification, while Goshen moved up from 2A. The depth, talent, and experience of 29 juniors and seniors for Trinity was evident, while Goshen rebuilds after a large number of starters were lost to graduation of a year ago.

The Wildcats scored the first five times the offense got the ball in the contest. William Roberson got Trinity on the board with a 4-yard carry and Robert Gulledge added the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 8:54 showing in the first quarter.
