TUSCALOOSA – The Thompson Warriors entered Friday night, Oct. 11 still looking for that breakout offensive performance of the year and it came in a big way as sophomore quarterback Trent Seaborn eclipsed 400 yards in a key region win.
The quarterback finished 32-40 for 403 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-20 road victory against Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa to help the Warriors improve to 6-2 overall on the season and 5-0 in region play ahead of a showdown with Hoover to determine the region champion next week.
Seaborn’s big night started fast and furious in the opening quarter with two touchdown passes and he never looked back from there in the dominant effort.
The first touchdown pass came on a 54-yard bomb to RJ Evans that put the Warriors in front 7-0 with 7:37 left in the opening quarter.
Just three minutes later, he was right back at it after a strong defensive stand got the offense the ball back and led to Seaborn hitting Aiden Moseley for an 18-yard touchdown strike.
