The Trojans fought hard in the Sub-State game against the Sterling Black Bears but came up one touchdown short at the State play-offs. The best memory of the season was prob- ably the 21-0 victory over Syracuse when the team avenged their '81 defeat by the Bull- dogs. Art Carruth. who completed his first season as SCHS football coach, comment- ed. The team’s main strength was the players’ pride in themselves and the be- lief that they could beat anyone. They had to play every game against opponents who were sky high because we were ranked 1 all year. My greatest admiration for the players was for their excellent attitude and display of good sportsmanship. They were truly a class group to work with all year.’’ Gary Whaley and David Smith were named All-State by the Wichita Eagle-Beacon. Kelly Von Hemel received All-State honorable mention.
