Trinity 38, Steel High 6
Trinity remains perfect
~By James Phillips of the Patriot News~
It took a while for the undefeated Shamrocks to figure out how to get around the overall team speed of Steel-High last night.
Actually, it was 3 fumbles, 3 interceptions and a blocked punt given up by the young rollers that got the rolling for the Shamrocks (4-0,2-0) as the rolled to a 38-6 victory in Mid-Penn Conference Liberty Division action.
In fact, four turnovers led to Trinity touchdowns as the home tam took full advantage of the miscues.
�We just took advantage of the turnover like a good team should. Steel-High had a lot of speed and our kids weren�t used to seeing that. It kind of took our kids by surprise.�
Junior quarterback Chris Crane tossed two touchdown passes and ran for another and Rob Lutz added two more scores to lead the way for the Shamrocks, who amassed just 240 yards of total offense.
Coming into the contest, Trinity was averaging 402 yards of offense, including 283 yards on the ground.
A Steel-High fumble at its 16 setup Trinity�s first score, a 6-yard pass from Crane to Jeff DeFrank in the opening quarter.Trinity then made it 14-0 at the half when it went four plays to score following an interception by Jonathan Smith. Crane ran 10 yards up the middle with 32.5 seconds left in the first half.
The Rollers (1-3,1-2) seemed to lose their fight after the 6:50 mark of the third quarter when junior punter James Anderson suffered a dislocated knee following a block by Trinity junior Tony Calabrese. Calabrese picked up the loose ball and ran to the Steel High 3.
Anderson was taken off the field in an ambulance and taken to Hershey Medical Center, where his status was unknown at press time.
After play resumed, Smith scored to give Trinity 20-0 lead. The Shamrocks added three more TDs in the final frame.
Steel-High averted a shutout when senior Brandon Boyer (101 yards on 7 carries)bolted 56 yards for a score with 28 seconds remaning.

�HOLY SMOKES� is the murmur you hear this football season when you watch the shamrocks of Trinity High school, Camp Hill. This team, 5-0 at season�s midpoint, comes at you with speed. Add in a dose of quickness, and the ingredients are there for a solid football team. Against cross - town rival Camp Hill � hardly the average cupcake � the Shamrocks dominated the Lions, winning 35 � 14 before a boisterous crowd at Seibert Park in Camp Hill. The �Rocks best all � around player is arguably Jonathon Smith, a transfer from Cedar Cliff, who torched the lion�s defense for more than 100 total yards. The gutty Smith, above, makes a nifty reach to break the plane to score Trinity�s second touchdown.
Trinity is led by a senior quarterback Chris Chris Crane, left, who has the arm strength to get the ball downfield and enough speed to keep defense honest. Not to be forgotten is Trinity�s stingy defense, below. They are fundamentally sound gang tacklers why are backed by a quick secondary. Trinity just might run into those smash mouth Squires of Delone Catholic come play off time in November. Stay tuned. Same Bat � channel. Same bat � time. ~The Catholic Witness ~
