ROBINSON – The Taylor High School varsity football team battled hard but came up short on the road again as the Ducks were edged late 28-24 to the Rockets of Robinson High School.
The Taylor offense was able to drive down the field and got on the board late in the first quarter. Facing fourth-and-goal with 1:29 left, Ducks senior quarterback Joshua Mikulencak called his own number and was able to sneak it in for the score to put Taylor up 7-0.
The Rockets would answer with a touchdown of their own in the second quarter to knot the game up at 7-7. However, the Ducks’ offense rose to the occasion in the first half in a drive engineered by Mikulencak deep into the Rockets’ territory. Mikulencak again put in work with his legs as he scrambled and extended the ball over the goal line for a short touchdown run to put Taylor back on top 14-7 midway through the second quarter.
