Page 151 text:

i The next week the victorious Trojans went on to win over Fort Worth Nolan, which is a 4A high school. The Trojans played extremely well, scoring the first three times they had the ball, and making the score 21-0 early in the game. The Trojans played an excellent second half and went on to win 31-15. After the two previous victories, the Trojans went up against St. Marks, fighting a tough battle. Yet we ended up losing the game to the roaring lions 46-13. The Trojans bounced back the next week against Garland Christian. It was Trinity’s Homecoming and the Trojans obviously wanted to please their cheering fans as they went on to win 20-6. The crowd was about 2000 strong as the Trojans rushed for 134 yards. With the final score, Trinity was victorious. The game against Garland Christian was Trinity’s last non-district game. The Trojans not only celebrated a Homecoming victory but a victory record of 4-2. Sports 147

Excitement filled the air. It was the night of the Trojan’s first district game of the season. The challenging team was FWCD. All previous attempts to gain a win over the Falcons had failed. Holding All-State quarterback Mark Vincent to only one touchdown pass for the game, T.C.A. rushed for 206 yards and passed for 58 yards as they went on to beat the Falcons 20-7. The second district game against Ft. Worth Christian held even more excitement than the game against FWCD. The Trojans had much more control of the game than the score would indicate because at one time during this game T.C.A. was ahead by four touchdowns. FWC scrambled to get back into the game as the dominating team held their lead and won the game 43-27. This game set up a 2-0 district record for the undefeated Trojans, which made for a classic battle the next week against Dallas Christian, whose district record was also 2-0. The battle was hard-fought, but the Chargers turned two turnovers into touchdowns the very first two plays that T.C.A. had the ball on offense. Stumbling, and losing their composure, the Trojans came back in the second half with a touchdown by Darren Weatherford, but it just wasn’t enough. The final score was 16-6. The confident Trojans finished their regular season of play with a grand win against the First Baptist Saints. These age-old arch rivals played a tough, exciting game, but as all the Trojans knew, Trinity came out on top, winn- ing the game 18-14. The defense played excellently with Scott Miller getting 15 tackles. The offensive high-lighter was Stuart Cole who had two touchdown catches on two consecutive offensive plays just as the first half ended. This gave the Trojans momentum going into half-time. The winning Trojans came back in the second half dominating the game more than the score would indicate. Sports 149
