The Sacred Heart football team dropped their season opener at Wichita Trinity on Friday night by a final score of 36-26.
Sacred Heart jumped out to an early 13-0 lead in the battle of the Knights, but a 67-yard touchdown pass from Harvey Zimmerman to Donald Collier got Trinity on the board with some momentum.
After a successful Knights field goal, Zimmerman once again found a target deep, this time to Braden Roberts from 58 yards out early in the third quarter to cut the Sacred Heart lead to five.
The Salina unit would answer with another score to re-extend the lead but a late pile of points helped Trinity to pull ahead and pull off the late comeback win.
Sacred Heart will be on the road again in week two when they travel to Minneapolis.
