The first pass H.D. Woodson junior Tyron Robinson threw when called upon to replace injured starting quarterback Kahlil Wright was an interception. Frustrated and frazzled on the sideline, Robinson did not play again in that Sep. 29 game, a 12-8 win over Ballou in the rain.

He’s only been getting better since.
