Softball Success through preseverance best describes this Trojanette season. After losing to the Ottumwa Bulldogs for the past twelve years of the FHS Trojanette Softball program, they came back to defeat the Bulldogs for the first time in 46 games by 3 to 1 in the second game of a doubleheader. Determination was also a key factor in their own invitational softball tournament. The Trojanettes bounced back after a first round loss with two wins in the second round to place fifth. Diana Repp was named MVP for the Trojan- ettes Softball team. Baseball The Fairfield High School varsity baseball team ended their season with a record of 19-11, winning the conference championship. The all conference first team included: Tim Jackson, short stop and MVP of the conference; Dave Christner, utility; Mike Dailey, designated hitter; Mike Lance, 3rd base; David Brush, pitcher; with Mark Dougherty as 2nd team all district pitcher.

“We were disappointed that we didn’t make the playoffs this year, but we did have a great time this season, and that’s really the bottom line anyway,” said slot back Mark Brouwer, sum- ming up the Trojan’s 6-3 record this year. The gridders began the season with a win over Chariton 35-7. They trampled Norwalk at home 41-0. The Trojans continued their winning streak with a 41-0 blank over Keokuk. A tough Mt. Pleasant squad dealt Fairfield its first loss 3- 14. The Homecoming game against a very big and physical Algona Garrigan ended in a 8-28 loss for the Trojans. “The Algona Garrigan game showed us the importance of lifting weights. They were a very physically tough team,” said assistant coach Rich Reever. In a heartbreaker at Washington, the Demons defeated Fairfield with a score of 30-28. Howev- er, the Trojans came back to blank a good Ot- tumwa team 17-0. Next the team defeated Ft. Madison with a score of 38-6. For the final game of the season, Fairfield beat Oskaloosa 44-26.
