The scoreboard does not tell the whole story so do not be deceived by the 28-0 final score because the DeQuincy Tigers played very well defensively giving the Sacred Heart Trojans fits all night. Unfortunately DeQuincy’s offense struggled and failed to find the end zone.

Sacred Heart scored with four minutes left in the first quarter to take an early 7-0 lead and that would be the halftime score as the Tigers defense stood out big-time.

Sacred Heart would score early in the third quarter after benefiting from a big-time penalty against DeQuincy. However, the Tigers’ defense continued to play hard, but fatigue began to set in throughout the fourth quarter as Sacred Heart would score two more times to put the game on ice.
