Trojans Close Season with 77-Point Outburst in Rout at Madonna

LIVONIA, Mich. – Taylor put an exclamation point on its 2025 season with a 77-35 blowout of Madonna on Saturday, wrapping a second-straight winning season with its seventh victory of the year.

With a combined 16 wins over the 2024 and 2025 campaigns, Taylor posted its second-highest, single-season win total in program history, trailing just the 18 wins earned by the 1998 and 1999 squads. TU also recorded winning records in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2009 and 2010, and for the 12th time in school history.

TU scored the win on Saturday with the same script it used all year, scoring at least 35 points for the 11th time in as many games and piling up at least 440 yards of offense for the 10th-straight outing. The Purple and Gray also eclipsed 300 yards of rushing for the sixth time this season and the fourth time in the last five contests.

Taylor finished the game with 544 total yards of offense, with 389 yards coming on the ground, as TU clipped off 7.5 yards per carry to overpower the hosts (1-10, 0-5 MSFA).

TU scored 70 points over the final three quarters to put the game well out of reach and used the 77 points and 544 total yards of offense to break its 2024 marks for new single-season program records.

The program also saw a new single-season individual record be set, as Nathan Parker found the end zone twice for his 20th and 21st rushing scores of the season, surpassing Jameson Chesser's 2024 record of 20 rushing touchdowns. Parker also finished his sophomore season with 1,360 rushing yards, ending with the third-highest single-season mark in Taylor's history.

Taylor dipped deep into its depth chart throughout the 42-point victory, with three different players tossing at least one touchdown pass and 11 different Trojans taking at least one carry.

Parker, Nathan Turanchick and Ethan Albert all rushed for two scores each, with Albert finishing with 12 touches for 121 yards and Parker reaching 78 yards on just eight touches. Jack D'Arcy led the receivers once again with three catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns of his own.

The TU defense earned four takeaways in the game, led by interceptions from David Worlds and Luke Graft. Graft also paced the club with seven tackles, while Caleb Ranzau had three hits for negative yardage and Micah McGowan recorded the team's lone sack.

RV Taylor closed its 2025 season at 7-4 overall and in second place in the MSFA Mideast League with a 4-1 mark.
