Friday Finale G jr I rmnn Trojans fi nish week by burying Kankakee Valley 41-8 at home H omecoming night was bitter cold, but Highland’s home field was warmed by fighting spirit and spirited fans as the Tro- jans met Kankakee Valley. The Cougars came into the game at 3-2, and left 3-3. Senior Mike Stuckert scored the first touchdown early in the game, then made it into the end zone again two more times before the gun sounded. He rushed for 130 yds. Seniors Tom Homco and Tony Gross also had good nights, scoring one TD each. Gross’s 90 yd. kick- off return gave the crowd reason to cheer from the first play on. Junior Tony Gilless also scored, while the defense allowed Kanka- kee only one trip across the goal line. Coach Dave Shelbourne felt the backs and linemen dominated play. “We outplayed them in every as- pect of the game.” This Homecoming win was a team effort, with fans agreeing. Tony Gross, running back, said, “Everyone contributed to the game and the score showed it.” This special evening featured re- turning alumni from many different graduating classes, many people on dates and ready to attend the aftergame dance, as well as many Highland residents who came to cheer the Trojans. This game also marked the first win on Highland’s road to the Hoo- sier Dome. It turned around the slow season start and set Highland on a winning path. is Angie Malkowski
