Trojans come up short against Rock Falls

ROCK FALLS – One of the main objectives Mendota had coming into the new season was to take better care of the football and thus sustain potential scoring drives or give the opposition fewer opportunities to cash in on its mistakes. Two games into the season, there has yet to be any progress in fixing that problem.

The Trojans (0-2, 0-2) fumbled eight times in the season-opener and matched that number again in the second game of the year against Rock Falls. Include two interceptions thrown by Mendota passers and it all added up to a disappointing 22-18 loss to the Rockets in a Big Northern Conference contest on Sept. 1 at Rock Falls.
