Royalty comes back A special Queen of Courts ceremony was held January 31, in the C.W. Oliver Gymnasium. Past queens came to be recognized and reunited. They began in 1963 with Carol Smith and went all the way through to 1985 with Diana Shelton. Each queen that attended was presented a corsage by the student council Vice-President Tim Hegarty. The Queen of Courts ceremony was held at the half of the boys' varsity game. Paula Smith was pronounced the new Queen of Courts. Bryan Adkins was the head escort. Paula received a crown, a sash, eight roses, and a kiss from Bryan and was then escorted to her seat. Other candidates and their escorts were Mary Etherton and Mike Wiedmer; Jackie Herpich and Mike Goss; Jenny Herpich and Brian Klaus; and Jennifer Scholz and Robert Sigrist. Each candi- date received a single red rose and a kiss from her escort. The crown and gift bearers were Kyle McCon- naughey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kevin McCon- naughey; Jaylon Ashburn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Kelley; Amy Keller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Keller; and Jamie Wykert, daughter of Mr. Jim Wykert and Sharon Sandy. The music for the dance after the game was pro- vided by JTN, a live band that had played to a sold-out audience at the Uptown theater in Kan- sas City the previous month.

Trojans make Final 4 again in '86 For the third time in the last four years, the Trojan basketball team and their fans made the trek to Topeka for the 2A State Tournament. The team sported an 18-4 record as they marched into Lee Arena on the campus of Washburn Universi- ty- The Trojans had worked hard all year long and had ended the season with three exciting victo- ries in Sub-State. First, they whipped McLouth, and then JCN in the semifinals, and, finally, they overpowered Linwood in the championship game to advance to State. Being seeded eighth in the tournament, the Tro- jans faced the top seeded team, Berean Academy in the first round. The Trojans came out on top by a score of 45-36 to move into the semifinals. Here, the Trojans squared off against the Owls of Garden Plains. Although the game remained fairly close until the fourth quarter, poor shoot- ing and lack of concentration hurt the Trojans severely. Garden Plains won 68-41. In the consolation game Saturday, the Trojans met the Centralia Panthers. The Trojans didn't fair too well with the Panthers either. The score ended in Centralia's favor, 78-69, after a hard- fought contest. Robert Sigrist was the fourth leading scorer in the tournament, and Bryan Adkins finished fifth. Another highlight of the tournament came when Troy won the sportsmanship award. This was a great achievement that the cheerleaders, pep club, fans, and players worked hard to win. Once again a year of action-packed basketball with many great moments was completed. The Trojans ended the season with a 19-6 record. Although basketball tradition was still young in Troy, it was getting richer and richer with each passing year.
