It wasn’t a cooler-heads-prevail postgame, either, in which teams settle down after a minute or so and shake and move on. Instead, UC coach David Penland III and his assistants had to gather up players and get them into the locker room, where they decamped there for some time. On the other side, a victorious Verlon Dorminey loudly hammered home the point to his team to not be stupid, that one action interpreted as a punch was a season-ender with no appeal.
“They’re caught up in the moment, shaking hands. I don’t know who said what,” Dorminey said. “But all of the sudden, there’s a pushing match going on. It’s football. It’s an emotional game.Some players on both sides played it smart and avoided the scrum. Conquerors outside linebacker Bryce Kazmierczak, for example, said he steered clear of it.
He succeeded. Four times, UC went for it on fourth down. Four times, TC came up with the big play on the way to its second shutout of the season. That helped ease the sting a bit from last November when UC upended the Conquerors in the postseason after losing to them during the regular season and not having beat TC in 30 seasons.
But the Conquerors were able to do just enough on offense. After Baker’s stop, Trinity drove 94 yards for the first touchdown, with Darnell Rogers converting a fourth-and-1 for a 20-yard scoring run. Rogers rolled up 67 of his 142 rushing yards on that drive.
