Notes:
The Trojans had one of their best seasons in school history in 2009 making the playoffs for the first time in 26 seasons. They didn't win their games by scheduling either as they fought tough opponents and even in their losses showed very well. The Trojans will depend on their defense in 2010 to try and keep things going. The eight returning starters on defense will be led by all-state LB Stallworth. It will be difficult to match their 2009 success but expect the Trojans to go 7-3 or 8-2 in the regular season and a trip to the Area round of the playoffs.
