Tonight at 8 p.m. in the Venetian Gardens ball park the Leesburg Carver High 1961 Trojans will open their gridiron season, as they take the field against strong Eustis Tigers of the Central Florida Athletic Conference.

Head Coach H. O. Dabney of the Leesburg Carver Trojans who has been on the go since August 30 having hard practices every day had this to say about his Trojans as they closed out their practices last night. "This is a young team and is not the powerhouse everyone has built them up to be".

The Trojans 1961 schedule calls for action like this: September 28, Eustis at Leesburg; October 6, Leesburg at Ocala; October 12, DeLand at Leeburg: October 19, Leesburg at Haines City; October 26, Gainesville at Leesburg; November 2, Sanford at Leesburg; November 9, Apopka at Leesburg (Homecoming); November 17, Melbourne. Helping Coach H. O. Dabney, who is in the 13th season at Carver High School, are assistant coaches L. J. Berry and J. W. Sweetwine, who are in their eight season with the Trojans. The Trojans marching band will be on hand for big half time show.
