Carmel lost its Metropolitan Conference opener to Center Grove 31-10 Friday at Carmel Stadium.
The Class 6A No. 3 Greyhounds got on the board midway through the second quarter when Atticus Clouse caught a 36-yard pass from Jake McDonald. Coghlan made the extra-point kick, and would later boot in a 44-yard field goal. That kept Carmel within 17-10 at halftime.
But the 6A No. 4 Trojans scored twice in the third quarter, and that 31-10 margin held until the end of the game. Clouse finished the game with eight catches totaling 99 yards. McDonald was 12-for-21 with 123 yards passing.
The Greyhounds are 1-2 overall, and travel to Pike next week.
