The Atlantic Trojans rolled past the Red Oak Tigers 54-0 on Friday night to wrap up the 2019 season. The Trojans worked a successful ground game early with Tyler Moen and built a 41-0 lead by halftime. The running clock rule was in place for the second half and the game melted away quickly.

Tyler Moen finished another stellar night with 320 yards on 25 carries with 5 rushing touchdowns. The first 4 scores of the game came from Moen. He finishes the season with 1,909 yards on the ground with 20 rushing touchdowns. Moen was already the single season rushing leader in Atlantic history before the game started, passing Derek Lane’s 1992 season mark of 1,293 yards.

The other three scores on the night came from a Garrett McLaren 18 yard touchdown pass to Collin Mullenix, a 5-yard run by Corey Parrott, and a 1 yard plunge from Ayden Brown.

The Trojan defense had a very solid outing as well, holding the Tigers to just 84 total yards of offense and 3 turnovers.

Atlantic finishes the season with a 4-5 record overall and a 3-2 mark in Class 2A District 9. Red Oak finishes the year 0-9.
