With a right tackle with the nickname “Kool-Aid” helping pave the way, Soddy Daisy dominated the line of scrimmage in Friday night’s 40-13 victory at Hixson.

The Trojans ran the ball with authority behind Collin Miller as the 6-foot, 330-pound sophomore helped lead an offense that rushed for 405 yards despite the game being called with 11:52 left to play in the fourth quarter after a scary injury to a Wildcats player.

“We are a really young football team, and I feel like we are going to get better each week,” Soddy Daisy coach Josh Owensby said. “We challenged our offensive line to control the line of scrimmage this week. They came out and took control of the game up front immediately.

“Kool-Aid grew up in a big way tonight. He still hasn’t even got his growth spurt yet. He could be a really solid player with several of our guys in due time.”
