The Greatest Comeback In Trinity Football History

By Samantha DePriest

Friday Night Lights may never be the same! If you were blessed enough to attend the football game or tune in online on October 7, 2022, you witnessed the greatest comeback in Trinity football to date.

Seniors #23 Shawn Braxton and #16 Henry Brodnax ready to rumble!

Our Trinity Lions had a rough start and were down 17-0 at the end of the 1st quarter. We went into halftime down 17-7 and with 9 minutes left in the game, we were still trailing 23-7. Coach Dallas proclaimed in the locker room during half time on Friday night against the Whitewater Wildcats, “During the 2nd half, we will accomplish the greatest comeback in Trinity Football history”. Our Lions proved to themselves and to the community that with God’s help and their preparation and brotherhood, they would finish the game strong. This incredible team was led by our brilliant coaches, cheered on by our talented Cheerleading Squad and spirited Lion Nation, and encouraged by our phenomenal Marching Band and Color guard. Our Lions gave it everything they had in the 4th quarter to win the game 27-23. Trinity remains tied for 1st place in the Region 4A.

Trinity Football Mom Yuki Braxton shares “I feel like we hit the top….yet every year it gets even better!! Trinity Football is nothing like we have ever seen before! It brings so much joy, excitement, brotherhood, respect, and love to our community and our boys! Thank you Trinity and Coach Dallas for this special program!”

Our Lions have earned a well-deserved break after winning their last two region games against local high schools Starrs Mill and Whitewater. But relaxing they are not. They are getting ready for the next big game against the LaGrange Grangers at home on Friday, October 21st in our Lion Stadium. A win would guarantee them to play at home in the first round of the playoffs. Let’s fill the stands on Friday night and cheer our team to another victory!!
