The varsity football team hosted Farmington for the IHSA quarterfinal game on Saturday. The Trojans gave their best effort, but were not able to secure the upset over the number 1 seed. The offense was able to collect more than 200 yards on the day with Evan Cox, Dylan Crouch and Ayden Collom each rushing for more than 50 yards. But the big plays weren’t there, and occasional miscues and penalties stalled the Trojans offensive drives. Despite the loss, the Varsity had a remarkable season by accomplishing something that has never been done in Trojan Football history. The 2024 football team ended a 41 year drought of winning a playoff game, and became the first team in history to make it to the quarter finals. Coach Standiford would like to thank everyone for all the support throughout the season. This was a team effort and a lot of people played a huge part in making it all happen. From the student section, the band, the administration, everyone working in the press box, parents, maintenance staff, bus drivers and so much more.. The football team would like to thank everyone for making this season so special.
