The Milan Middle School and junior varsity football teams traveled to C.F. Russell Stadium in Trenton on Monday night, for a pair of games with the host Bulldogs.

Ian Elbert led Trenton with 84 yards rushing, with Hunter McAtee adding 56, and Gavin Chambers 31 yards on the ground. Defensively, Chambers had six tackles to pace THS, with one of those a tackle for loss. McAtee had two interceptions for an opportunistic Bulldog defense, with Tim Kempton grabbing two tackles for loss and a sack, Ian Elbert four tackles, and Charlie Riley two tackles and an interception.
