As the Tri-County Academy Rebels gathered around Trainor Storey at midfield towards the end of regulation in their second round game with DeSoto last Friday his message was simple.
"I just told them that we were brothers and we were going to go down and score and win this one," Storey said. "There was no way they were keeping us out."
The senior was true to his word as he guided the Rebels down the field to tie the game in the final minute and pull off a miraculous 35-28 victory in overtime.
The win kept the Rebs undefeated at 13-0 and was the first loss of the season for DeSoto.
TCA moves on to face Tunica Academy in the Academy A North State Championship this Friday.
"I'm very proud of this team right now," said Coach David Blount. "Their running game was probably the best we faced this year but in the end, our kids rose to the occasion."
