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.
