Having won only two games last season, the 2019 Triton football team has eclipsed that mark in just four games by beating Dover-Eyota 34-20 on Friday, Sept. 20.
            The Cobras scored the first touchdown of the game on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Austin Melder to Jaxon Sackett.
            Triton then increased its lead to 13-0 when Melder once again hit Sackett, this time a 40-yard touchdown pass.

This wasn’t the way they drew it up, but the Kasson-Mantorville football team seemingly hasn’t missed a beat despite two team members suddenly taking over two of the most important positions on their team.
