A trick they hadn't done since 1944. The season opener was a discouraging affair, with the Trojans dropping a close 20-19 decision to Class A Monroe High, but they bounced back quickly, racking up four consecutive league victories. The victory string was broken very abruptly by a fired-up Allen park ll, 25-6, Because of this loss, the Trojans were forced to share first place with the Plymouth Rocks, whom they had beaten previously, 16-3. Coach Neil Van Riper's gridmen then finished out the season with two non-league tilts, winning both with comparative ease. The Trojan juggernaut rolled over position to the tune of 192 points, while having only 72 scored against it. A ratio of almost 3 to l. Although winning the championship was a team effort, the Trojans had more than their share of individual stars. Brightest of all was Captain Don Henderson who was named All-State guard on the first team. Nich Mans, Jim Saunders, and Ray Driscoll received honorable mention on the All-State listing. Trenton also placed three men on the All-League first team: Henderson, Mans, and Saunders.

The Trojans then rolled over four league opponents, including the defend- ing champion, Bentley, whom Dale Brubaker wrecked with 18 points. Coach Harold Jaroch's champion- ship dreams were given a severe jolt, though, as Allen Park dropped his team from the unbeaten ranks, gaining a close 36-32 decision. From then on the THS quintet fell into disorganized confusion, losing two more league games by decisive scores. The cagers snapped out of their tail- 1 spin in thrilling fashion by trouncing Belleville in overtime, 52-49, with Captain Nick Mans banking in 18 points Trenton finished out the regular season by beating Redford Union and avenging its previous loss to Allen Park. The Trojans fared only moderately well in the tournaments. They breezed by Mt. Carmel in the opener, 40-21, but were dropped abruptly from con- tention by Ecorse, 43-4l. The THS cagers vastly improved over the 1952-53 team, finished in second place in the 6-B loop, and gave promise of greater things ahead.

Here's the Number Two team in State Class B swimming Climaxing a fine dual meet record of 10 wins and two losses, the Trenton High swim squad returned from the State Class B Tournament at East Lansing with the runner-up trophy and awards for three first- places. In the first dual contest of the season, the Trojans faced Monroe and lost. They won the next two at Dearborn Lowery and Lincoln Park. During the Yule vacation, Coach Tony Malinowski and 13 of his tankers took off for the sunny land of Florida. There they attended the annual swimming forum. On their return to competition, the THS mermen met Royal Oak and their second loss of the season. The meet was a real thriller as Trenton chased the Class A. team all the way, only to lose, 43-41. From then on the Trojans dunked all their oppo- nents including Dearborn, Hazel Park, Wyandotte, and Ypsilanti -- all Class A high schools. At the State Meet in March, the tankmen estab- lished a new state record in the Medley Relay, knock- ing the old mark of the meet winner, East Grand Rapids, from the books. Chuck Raison defeated the 1953 breast-stroke champion for a gold medal. Also, Bob Red Woods, for the second consecutive year, captured the fir st place in the fancy diving event. Trenton's Charles Tutty Sayles was second to give THS a one-two punch in that department. This year's captain, Don Wood, was elected Most Valuable Player by the squad at the end of the season. Bobby Balko and Terry Dierdorff were named to represent the swim team for the 1954-55 season as the team's co-captains. 6 5 wimming eam Woods and Sayles, divers Set new relay meet mark ff? it El 5860 eafn ennifi eam QQ M W is 'N-...
