Bartram Trail went into victory formation with two minutes left Friday night and began taking knees. That’s when it was finally done.

Not just the game against host Creekside, but the scoring. The Bears’ onslaught included scoring drives on every possession until they hit the knee. It was the way to end another Bartram blowout chapter in the neighborhood rivalry.

“It was all business. Get on the bus, came over here, played the game. Now we’re going home. All business.” Bartram Trail was able to contain Creekside’s runners from breaking big gains, and the defense racked up six sacks. Arion Stith had a pair of sacks and another tackle for loss and Davis Houk, Shane Armstrong, Zeke Cromwell and Jack George were in on sacks as well.

If that didn’t deflate Creekside, the opening of the second half could have taken the wind out of the Knights’ sails. Sharif Denson made a brilliant interception on the second play of the second half. Four plays later, Trujillo connected with Taylor Rhodes for a 25-yard score in the corner of the end zone and a 38-14 advantage.

“It’s going to take guys doing all the little things. That’s what we preach: Carry out fakes, make blocks downfield. Guys being unselfish.” While Creekside is out of the chase for the district title, the playoffs are not out of reach. They entered the night as the fourth-ranked team in Region 1-4S. The region’s four district winners make the postseason and then the next four ranked teams are in as at-large.
