Tri County Football opened the season with an exciting victory over Centennial last night!
The Trojans showed toughness, discipline, and determination from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. It was a tremendous team effort and a great way to start the season.
Garrett Smidt led the way on offense with 34 carries for 215 yards and 4 TD's. Nick Sullivan led the defense with 10 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 1 sack.
Thank you to our students, parents, fans, cheerleaders, and community members who packed the stands and created an outstanding atmosphere!

The first week of school is officially in the books… and judging by these pictures, we gave it everything we had. New routines, early mornings, full classrooms, lots of learning, and apparently a few naps along the way.
We’d say Week 1 was a success… but we might need the weekend to sleep on it!
