T. H. s. - L. D. Bell plit 42-41, 77-66 Trinity hosted Bell on the first Tuesday of January as the arch-rivals met for battle. It was a close yet slow and tense game all the way through.

Then in the final 6 seconds of the fourth quarter the Trojans were trailing by one point. The pass to Green was batted away and there was a scramble for the ball. Gary Pace, of Trinity, emerged with the ball and somewhat calmly shot a 17 footer that rang true as the buzzer went off. The Trojans won, 42-41. Aside from Pace's heroic shot, Green was outstanding player with the total of 18 points. Free throw average-572. Green makes easy lay-up over Bell players.

This defeat tied Trinity, with a 1-2 record, to L. D. Bell and Irving Nimitz, in district play.
