No, because of Rule 3.1.4 in the manual

2014 Game Manual - Rule 3.1.4

A BALL is considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S GOAL if
  • A. a ROBOT causes one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S BALLS to cross completely and remain completely through the opening(s) of one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S GOALS without intervening TEAM member contact
  • B. the ALLIANCE ROBOT last in contact with the BALL was entirely between the TRUSS and their ALLIANCE’S HIGH GOALS, and
  • C. the BALL is not in contact with any ROBOT from that ALLIANCE.
Emphasis mine. If you are making a valid truss shot, your robot is not entirely between the truss and your alliance's high goals.

Good luck at Windsor and Championship!
