The Trojans shook off a very lethargic first 25 minutes on both halves of the ball, dropping behind by ten points early.  However, Saint James recovered to score 26 consecutive points as they defeated the Highland Home Flying Squadron on the road in a 1A Area 9 matchup.

Johnny Redding rushed for 142 yards on 30 carries, but other Trojan runners were held to minus 17 yards.  Highland Home actually outgained Saint James 207 to 168; most of those Squadron yards occurred in the first half.  The Squadron also out first-downed the Trojans 13 to 9, but only 2 of those 13 first downs were in the second half as well.

Redding scored late on a long 57 yard run, and earlier added a 49 yard punt return for a touchdown to help Saint James pull away from the Squadron.  Jeff Stevenson and Tommy Aplin each scored on short runs to overtake the early ten point margin.
