A longtime local attorney practicing journalism on the side, Ralph covers the football beat for his hometown Johnson County Trojans each fall. The Wrightsville native, co-founder of the Johnson Journal and owner of Dublin’s Jackson Law Firm, has contributed to The Courier Herald for years as a sports stringer and movie critic.
Senior night meant another one-sided win like the Trojans' seniors have enjoyed all year. They improved to 9-0 on the season in Friday's tune-up for the region championship game this week.
The Trojans extended their win streak in region games to 21 with Friday's home victory, moving a step closer to clinching their fourth consecutive region title.
The Trojans' ground attack churned out 415 yards, but a first shutout of the season by their defense made Friday's homecoming win over the Cobras extra special.
The Trojans made an impression not only running the ball, but also throwing it for two touchdowns as their defense scored once, and kept the Eagles silent until late.
