Thursday night of this week will see Carver Heights Trojans in action against the strongest opponent they have met in several years.
The visitors will be the Class "A" Crooms Academy Panthers of Sanford. The Panthers are coming to town favored by at least three touchdowns, and are boasting a record of five wins and one loss. That loss coming at the hands of one of the Class "A" schools out of Jacksonville.
Coach Hubert Dabney and staff feel that their young growing Trojans are in for a night of hard and wide open football as played by the boys from a neighboring county. The Trojans are playing 500 ball, having won three and lost three. One of these losses coming at the hands of Ocala, another Class "A" school, which was in turn defeated by these fighting Panthers.
The Sanford boys will outweigh the local boys in every position and are blessed with good reserve in every respect. The Panthers are led by a huge 272 pound tackle and fullback who has the distinction of being called "Big Daddy". This boy can do just about everything. He tackles hard, runs even harder, and is the kicker for his team. He is strictly powerful and as yet, hasn't been stopped in six games.
A gigantic homecoming parade will be held Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock with five big bands participating and a host of floats and decorated cars. Everyone is invited to take part in all of the homecoming festivities.
