Do n, ut ot ut Although our varsity football team did not do as well as expected, they still put forth plenty of effort this football season. At the beginning of the season, they were picked to be second or third, but this seemed to affect their playing ability. The key players who tried to hold the team together were Chris Barnes, Marty Freeman, Robert Records, Win- ford Lee, and Reggie Richardson. When asked which were the most im- portant games and which were the most memorable, Coach Weller responded, All of the games were important, but there were not any that were more memorable than the others. During the season, it was obvious that defense put forth a lot of effort. Trojan defense was ranked third in the conference, and offense ranked fifth. Their overall record was 3-7. As far as talent is concerned, the Trojan squad had plenty. They started off well enough, but early in the confer- ence play, they lost momentum. After the Douglas Byrd game, they started picking up their feet and playing well again. Said senior quarterback Marty Free- man, The season was a very disap- pointing one for the coaches, but it was an interesting season for the team. Af- ter having a winning record for the 1986-87 season, we learned how it feels to have one win in the conference. Coach Weller felt that the season was a very frustrating one. He said the team could have done a lot better than they did because they had the potential to do so. Junior tightend, LeRoy McCul- lough, said of the season, UWell, we didn't have a good one at all this year, but it was a learning experience for all of us who will benefit next year from seeing the mistakes we made this year. With several returning varsity play- ers, as well as advancing J.V. players, next year is expected to be better. Re- gardless of their record, the Trojan football team will always have the un- dying support of its fans. lst Row: B. Weller, D. Wiggins, C. Barnes, J. Brown, R. McDougal, M. Lewis, R. Miller, B.
