It wasn’t looking good for the Derry football team in the third quarter.

The Trojans were down 10 points to No. 3 Elizabeth Forward and needed a spark. Senior running back Justin Huss provided it. 

Huss ripped off an 80-yard touchdown and added two more scores before the third quarter was over after two Warriors turnovers, and Derry stormed back for a 26-17 victory Friday at Trojan Stadium. 

Huss, held out of last week’s North Catholic game with an injury, finished with 129 yards rushing and scored on runs of 2 and 1 yards. He had a 70-yard touchdown called back because of a penalty.
