York Tech drops first-annual trophy game


Special teams made all the difference in the first-annual "Battle for the Mason-Dixon Line" between York County Tech and Maryland's Harford Tech.

A trophy will go to the winner every year, and it'll spend the first year south of the border after the Cobras won 36-14.

The Spartans struggled on special teams, making snap errors on two punt attempts and fumbling another. Those turnovers led to points as Harford Tech built a 22-8 halftime lead and ran to a victory.

"Harford was better than we thought, and we're a little bit behind where we want to be right now," York County Tech coach Charlie Troxell said. "We have a very young team, especially on the offensive line, but I'm happy with our progress so far. I'm proud of our kids for never giving up."
