1- f-,A -W 13317 A Y. Q . w' The Trinity varsity basketball team had a most impressive season this year. ln pre-district the cagers ran their record to 9-O before falling to R.L. Turner. Prior to this loss, the Trojans had narrowly defeated Southwest 44-43 to win the Birdville Tournament. During late December the Trojansjourneyed to Fort Worth to participate on the annual Westside Lions Club Tournament. The Trojans faired well in this prestigious tour- nament as they returned with a fifth place trophy. After an impressive pre-district, the varsity squad opened District 5A- 9 play with their best offensive game of the season as they defeated Nimitz by an almost inconceivable score of 101-71. After this decisive victory, the Trojans went on to drop their next two games to Duncanville and Irving. Trinity then bounced back with a victory over Grand Prairie behind the scoring of Paul Rice. Although four out of the five starters hit double figures in the Trojon's next game, Trinity was unable to pull out another close one and fell to South Grand Prairie. The Trojan cagers, however, finished out the first half of district as they soundly defeated MacArthur and their cross- town rival L.D. Bell.

The Trojan Cagers started off the second half of district play on a good note with victories over Nimitz and lrving behind the scoring of Willie Henderson. The Trojans then went on to meet Duncanville in the closest game of the season. Although Trinity played an excellent game, they were unable to overcome the pressure of a triple-overtime, and lost the game 56-45. Following this crucial loss, Trinity could not recapture their competitive spirit as they dropped their next three games to Grand Prairie, South Grand Prairie, and MacArthur. The Trojans closed out the season with a heartbreaking loss to L.D. Bell. The Varsity Cagers, under the instruction of Coach Paul lngle, concluded the year with a 7- 7 district record and an excellent season record of 22-12. There were also several individual successes among the team. Both Rick Ford and Paul Rice were chosen to the Se- cond Team All-District, while Willie Henderson and Walt Zartman received Honorable Mention for district play. Trinity's Varsity Basketball Team kept in tradition with past Trojan teams by acquiring outstanding records and by demonstrating sportsmanship and competitive play throughout the season.
