I woke up Monday morning and forgot that Euless Trinity and Shiloh Christian were playing at 10:30, but quickly I settled down and watched the carnage unfold for the next three hours.
Granted, Euless Trinity has a student enrollment of 3,000 compared to Shiloh's, which is in the 190's, but still it was remarkable to see the No. 1 team from Texas just throw the rushing gauntlet at will versus Shiloh, and there was nothing the Saints could do about it.
I will say this, Shiloh can be proud of the fact that they put 26 points on the board. They scored 20 of that on two big pass plays and a kickoff return from Garrett Harper, and the 26 points may be the most Trinity will give up in a game this season.
A lot of people think that Shiloh embarrassed the state with their play, but I don't think many teams in the country would have fared better against that rushing attack today.
It is a humbling experience for the Saints, however, but they will likely rebound and win out and win another state championship. Trinity should do the same.
