CHAMPAIGN – Cary-Grove suffered only one notable injury against Crete-Monee, and although it was not devastating, it was just enough to render speedster Ryan Mahoney much less effective than normal.

The Trojans’ senior running back was hit on a punt return late in the first quarter and suffered a bruised left thigh. Mahoney could be seen off and on through the rest of the game trying to stretch out the muscles, but he wound up sitting out most of the second half.

C-G’s best big-play threat finished the game with eight carries for 28 yards, while junior Joey Scott filled in the second half with six carries for 32 yards.
