McLouth fails to score at Troy

? McLouth fell in its final road contest before a three-game homestand, 14-0, to Troy on Friday.

The Bulldogs were held in check offensively, and standout tailback Kevin Stewart was limited to just 83 yards on 25 carries.

For Troy, Nolan Franken’s 72-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was more than enough for the victory. His second touchdown run, the game’s only other score, came with just :29 remaining.

“I thought Troy’s defense played exceptionally well,” McLouth coach Harry Hester said. “They were aggressive and fast. We compounded it with some penalties and mental mistakes.”

McLouth (4-2) will play three straight district games at home, beginning Friday against Leavenworth Immaculata.

T — Nolan Franken 72 run (Derek Shelton kick)
