Uh oh … Trotwood has a kicker
TROTWOOD — Maurice Douglass, the Trotwood-Madison High School football coach, walked through some mingling players to the Rams’ locker room at Welcome Stadium on Saturday night after drubbing Dunbar.
He moved past a slimmer player removing his shoulder pads and pointed at him.
“There’s the all-star,” Douglass said. “The kicker.”
Indeed, Mouhamadou Seck, the junior kicker for Trotwood listed at 6 feet 1 and 145 pounds, gives the Rams a dimension they have lacked in recent seasons with otherwise powerful teams. That is, a special teams threat.
There were times in recent games when Trotwood would attempt a two-point conversion on almost every score because it didn’t have a reliable kicker. Seck seems to have changed that.
On Saturday, in Trotwood’s 45-0 victory that evened its season at 1-1, Seck converted on six extra-point attempts and added a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.
That explains why Douglass was attempting to point out his newest offensive weapon, which could prove important for the Rams in close games this season.
