Saturday, Nov.30, Trinity will travel 293 miles, that is 4:25 by bus, to\nCassville for a Missouri State High School Activities Association Class Three\nSemifinal football game. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The winner advances to the Show-Me Bowl\nState Championship game, Dec. 7 at 11 a.m. against Kennett or Odessa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cassville, located southwest of\nSpringfield and west of Branson, is making their fourth state semifinal\nappearance. About 10 years ago, the Wildcats won the second of back-to-back\nstate championships including a 2008 win over Cardinal Ritter, which lost to\nthe Titans a year ago. Cassville is 11-2 after winning 35-28 Nov. 23 at Blair\nOaks, in the Jefferson City area, snapping the Class Two State Champion\nFalcons\u2019 27-game winning streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trinity won the last two games at neutral\nsites and they have turf fields. In addition, the Football Field seating\ncapacity and limited parking at Trinity are too small to accommodate large\nplayoff crowds. Last year Trinity played their state semifinal game at St.\nMary\u2019s in the Class Three Semifinal and dethroned 2017 State Champion\nMaryville, in route to taking the title themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All four of Trinity\u2019s post-season games,\ntwo home and two neutral, count as Titan home games. Cassville played three\ndistrict games at home and the State Quarterfinal at Blair Oaks. By MSHSAA\nrules, Cassville played fewer \u201chome games\u201d than Trinity so Cassville hosts the\nsemifinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trinity, now 9-3, returned to St. Mary\u2019s\nfor the Class Three, District Three Final victory, 28-14 Nov. 14, over St.\nLouis Priory. It is the fourth district title for the Titans since 2009 and the\nthird in the last four years. Trinity got the top seed over second-seed Priory\nwhen the 9-3 Rebels lost in week nine to St. Dominic and the Titans have two\nunbeaten <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>teams, Class Two\nSemifinalist Lutheran North and Illinois Class 6A Finalist East St. Louis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trinity rushing game netted 208 yards\nand three touchdowns. Freshman quarterback Chris Cotton ran for one of the\nthree Titan touchdowns, in the second quarter and threw a fourth-quarter\ntouchdown pass to freshman Marquise Palmer, the only points of the second half\n(Trinity led 22-14 at halftime). Juniors Malcolm Harvey, who ran for a pair of\ntwo-point conversions, and Thomas Mimes each ran for a first-half touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On Nov. 23, Trinity won the state\nquarterfinal game at St. Louis University High as the Titans shut out Lutheran\nHigh St. Charles 26-0. The game was at SLUH because St. Mary\u2019s, which\neliminated McClue4 18-14 in&nbsp; the Class\nFour, District Two Final, hosted the Class Four quarterfinal win over\nFarmington. The shut out victory for the Titans is the fourth this season and\nthe win over Lutheran St. Charles (10-3) is the second of the year for the\nTitans over the Cougars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cotton threw a pair of third-quarter\ntouchdown passes in a span of 1:03. With 4:28 left Cotton threw to junior tight\nend Scott Presson, who ran the majority of the play for a 57-yard scored. After\nTrinity recovered a Lutheran St. Charles fumble on the ensuing kickoff, Cotton\ntossed a 36-ayrd touchdown to junior wide receiver Tam Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cotton scored on a\nsecond-quarter half-yard quarterback sneak with 1:31 left while senior James\nFrenchie got the Titans first score on a first quarter 11-yard run with 5:56\nleft. Senior kicker <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Austin Franklin added a pair of third\nquarter extra points. The Trinity goal-line defense resulted in a pair of\nLutheran St. Charles turnovers including a late first half fumble near the goal\nline and a third quarter pass interception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trinity Visits Cassville After Winning 2 Neutral-Site Games By Jim Wieners &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After opening districts with two home-game wins Trinity Catholic Football won their last two home playoff games at neutral sites.
