The Leesburg Carver High Trojans of the Central Florida Athletic Conference opened up their 1961 season last night in the Venetian Gardens ball park with a 32-0 win over the Eustis Tigers before an enthusiastic crowd.

Willie Hannah, the Trojans left halfback, was trouble to the Eustis Tigers, as he rolled up three touchdowns and one extra point; with the help of Captain Eddie Jo Sneed, quarterback, and Frank Gibbs the other halfback each making one tally and Arnett Hawkins making one extra point.

Coach H. O. Dabney said the Trojans lineman Richard Davis and Willie Peterkin at tackles and end Ernie Roundtree, turned in some very nice defense work.

Leesburg Carver High Trojans will go to Ocala next weeks to meet the Ocala Bulls. This game may be set back to Thursday, if the Ocala Wildcats are playing home Friday.

The next home game for the Trojans will be Thursday night, October 12, when they meet DeLand at 8 p.m.

Both bands from Eustis and Leesburg Carver High gave a nice half time show last night.

Coach H. O. Dabney has won the esteem of the Leesburg people for his outstanding achievements in the field of athletics at Carver Heights High School.

Coach Dabney, son of the late J. M. Dabney, for whom the elementary school (Dabney Elementary) was named, received his training in the elementary school of Leesburg, Lincoln School in Gainesville, and Xavier University of New Orleans, La.

His first teaching experiences were in the Sumter County schools. In 1949, he came to Leesburg and assumed the duties of athletic director, Coach and English instructor. From the time of his coming, the athletic department has taken on new life and he has produced winning teams in both football and basketball.

Coach Dabney is the husband of Mrs. R. B. Dabney and the father of little Debra O’donna Dabney. They reside at 411 East Main St.

He, his coaching staff, and the Carver Heights family will serve as host to the Western Division Group 1V, Class B Tournament from Feb. 27-March 1. Schools in this district include Carver Heights High School, Leesburg; J.R.E. Lee High, Wildwood; B. T. Mills High, Webster: and Moton High, Brooksville.

Trojans To Meet Cocoa Here Tonight, Thursday, December 8, 1957

The Carver Heights high school Trojans will make their final appearance tonight at the Venetian Gardens when they take on the Monroe high school Cats of Cocoa in a conference game for both schools.

As of today, the Trojans are on top in the Central Florida Athletic conference with a four and nothing record and Cocoa and Hungerford are tied for second spot with an identical record of three wins and one loss.

A loss for the Trojans tonight would upset their apple cart and knock them out of another championship year. On the other hand, should the Trojans be successful, they will be the only school in the conference ever to have won the championship trophy twice.

Coach Dabney feels the boys have an added incentive to win because the Trojans Quarterback Club have promised them a trip to the Orange Blossom Classic in Miami which matches Florida A. & M. University against an outstanding opponent. The Trojans Marching Band will feature a half time show centered around the Christmas season. Joining the Trojans Band will be the “Cats” Band from Cocoa.

Kick-off time is 8 P.M.
