Trojans top Tigers, 27-6

The New Prague Trojan football team ended its regular season on a winning note, defeating Farmington 27-6 at Trojan Field Tuesday.

Tyler Busch ran for three touchdowns and also scored a two-point conversion to help built a 21-0 lead for the Trojans. Farmington scored midway through the fourth quarter on a 33-yard pass. New Prague drove deep into Farmington territory on the next possession, but the drive ended on a fourth-and-long with an interception on the 8-yard line. On the next play, Trojan defensive back Alex Dittberner picked off a Farmington pass and returned it 21 yards for the Trojans fourth score.
