VARSITY FOOTBALL Troy’s football team had a poor season this year, losing all of its games. The team showed fight and spirit but just couldn’t keep it the whole game. With only a few experienced players, Troy’s team was composed mostly of Sopho- mores who had never played Varsity before. With a year’s experience behind them, there will be quite a few of the squad returning and the record for the coming year should be much better.
