Senior running back Eric Rosemeyer amassed 154 yards and a touchdown on game-high 19 carries. Junior cornerback Chase Ludwig came up with a pair of interceptions to help lead the Trojans past EIAC foe Franklin County.

South Dearborn 48, Jennings County 16
South Dearborn continued its impressive 2018 campaign with a first-round playoff win over Jennings County.
