The Trojans stuffed the Irish to start the half, then returned the resulting punt into Rosemount territory.  From there, they rolled 49 yards to the end zone, easy as you like.  Grant Olson, a junior fullback, rumbled for 25 yards after a pass in the flat, and Garrett Englehardt scored to extend the Wayzata lead.

Rosemount QB Chase Vogler came up cradling his injured arm after a particularly hard hit, and did not return to the game for the next Irish possession. (Update: he’s back in, at the start of the fourth quarter.) Even with Vogler in the game, though, it took an 18-yard pass on a fake punt to get Rosemount a first down; the Irish just aren’t able to move the ball against this Wayzata defense.

For the night, Wayzata has 14 first downs to Rosemount’s 5, and has outgained the Irish 263-111.
