Syrupmakers fall to Trojans

The Cairo High School Syrupmakers made their first trip to the “Valley” Friday night to battle the Peach County Trojans and came up short after a lackluster first half of play.
During the first period the Trojans ran up 21 points while the Syrupmaker offense sputtered without making a single first down and recording only 13 yards on offense.
However, Coach Tom Fallaw and staff made adjustments at halftime and the Syrupmakers fought back with a vengeance scoring 13 unanswered points.
The Syrupmakers pulled within 8 points of the Trojans, and a late Peach County drive ended with a field goal to preserve the home team’s victory and defeat the Syrupmakers 24-13.
The Syrupmakers return to West Thomas Stadium next week to host Dougherty County Friday.
