It was the Pleasantville’s Homecoming last night but it sure did not feel like it as the Trojans turned the ball over eight times with six fumbles in the first half and fell to Nodaway Valley 37-20. Phil Lumley continued his dominance with another four tackles for a loss and Spencer Kissinger returned to the lineup after suffering a concussion two weeks ago. The Trojans made a late run in the fourth quarter with 20 unanswered points of their own but it was too little too late. Pleasantville is one-and-five on the season and oh-and-four in Class one-A Distrcit seven. Pleasantville travels to Wayne next Saturday.
