Eric Maust understands the concept of deception.<br>
<br>
It helped as Maust took an option fake handoff for a 19-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter and Blessed Trinity beat M.L. King 21-12.<br>
<br>
``We put (decisions) in his hands,'' Titans coach Ricky Turner said.<br>
<br>
Maust, who entered with 520 yards rushing and six touchdowns, ran for only minus-31 yards in the first half but responded with 50 the last two quarters.<br>
<br>
The turnaround paid off.<br>
<br>
After M.L. King (8-2) jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter, Trinity (6-4) responded with two straight scores.<br>
<br>
Maust threw a 23-yard touchdown to Brandon Braner then Greg McGough scored on a 3-yard run to give the Titans a 14-6 lead. Trinity, which started the season 1-4, allowed only four touchdowns during its five-game winning streak.<br>
<br>
M.L. King cut the margin by two points when Marques Wade caught a 23-yard touchdown from Corey Tyler.<br>
<br>
But Maust's touchdown put the game out of reach for the win.<br>
<br>
No. 6 PARKVIEW STRUGGLES BUT WINS: Caleb King ran for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries to lead Parkview to a 14-10 win over Grayson.<br>
<br>
King, who finished with 2,115 yards this season, became the first Parkview player to break 2,000 yards in the regular season.<br>
<br>
The Rams (4-6) had a 10-7 lead in the third quarter until King scored on a 29-yard run in the same period.<br>
<br>
Adam Scruggs led Grayson with 85 yards on 32 carries.<br>
<br>

<br>
