The Varsity football team delivered a thrilling 29-26 upset win over Rushville-Industry on Saturday, advancing to the Sweet 16. It was a complete team effort, with the offense, defense, and special teams all contributing to the hard-fought victory. The game was a back-and-forth battle in the trenches, as both teams traded momentum throughout. With 2:50 remaining, the Trojans’ offense punched in the go-ahead score to take a 29-26 lead. On the ensuing drive, Dwight’s defense stood tall, stuffing the Rockets on 4th-and-4 to regain possession and kneel out the clock.
