MIDLOTHIAN, Va. — Gibson Gross threw for 157 yards and scored twice as Midlothian knocked off L.C. Bird 19-0. It was the first shutout of the Skyhawks by the Trojans since 1985, and just the second time Midlothian has won in the series since 1987.
Brandon Snyder added a 21 yard field goal as the Trojan defense limited Bird to just 81 yards of total offense. Midlothian (1-0) piled up over 270 yards of offense.
Bird (0-1) had other problems as well. They were flagged for 21 penalties, 12 of them for unsportsmanlike conduct, and had an assistant coach ejected in the second half.
