End of Football 2010

This season has been full of ups and downs for the Trojan football team... but once again they triumphed over their opponents and in the end did such a great job. The games were all so much fun to go to. The kids had a blast at every game and were able to make new friends and cheer on the team. Being the family behind the coach can be exhausting at times, but we all support Coach Brown and recognize how blessed we are to have such wonderful opportunities to be a part of this team.






November 12th marked the beginning of the 1st round of the Trojan playoffs. Jerome Akintunde and Braxton Bearden scored two touchdowns a piece as Carrollton Newman Smith (6-5) beat Rockwall (7-4) in a Class 4A Region II bi-district playoff game Friday at Pizza Hut Park.
Akintunde scored twice on the ground for Newman Smith. Bearden caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Jose Martinez and also scored on an 8-yard run.
With 5:45 left and trailing 21-14, Rockwall was facing a fourth-and-4 at the Newman Smith 11-yard line and looked poised to tie the game. However, the Newman Smith defense forced Rockwall quarterback Alan Reed into throwing an incomplete pass to turn the ball over on downs.
Newman Smith then marched 89 yards in 10 plays, a sequence capped by Bearden's 8-yard scoring run.
Rockwall made one last effort to come within a touchdown but Reed was intercepted by Newman Smith senior defensive back Jerric Porter to seal the victory. TROJANS WIN!!
After the game a few of the coaches and wives got together to celebrate the awesome season and amazing game.


On Friday November 19th round two of the playoffs was a complete success. Cowboys players broke through far more times than Newman Smith stopped them, but the stops were bigger in the Trojans' 35-28 victory. Newman Smith (7-5) goes on to the third round. Carter's (6-6) season has ended. Before tonight, both had been among the area's hottest teams. Newman Smith had won five of six, Carter five straight. Both had recovered from poor starts. The first turnover was an interception by Jaylen Jenkins. Two plays later, Newman Smith scored a touchdown. In the third quarter, as Newman Smith built its lead, it recovered fumbles on Carter's first two possessions. Newman Smith made three fourth-down stops in the second half.









The Trojan season wrapped up in Waco on November 27th 2010. John Tyler scored 28 points in a five-and-a-half minute span in the fourth quarter to pull away from Carrollton Newman Smith and win, 45-34, on Saturday at Waco ISD Stadium. Newman Smith (7-6) led 21-17 early in the fourth quarter before John Tyler (12-1) scored touchdowns on four straight possessions of the 4A Division I Region II semifinal. The Trojan's played their hearts out and came a long way from the beginning of the season. They once again found themselves in the 3rd round of the Playoffs thanks to hard work and dedication from the coaches, players, and of course all of the families that stand behind them.
