Thanks to the many supporters for Trojan football we were able to acquire a golf cart and utility truck for the football program. The cart is used daily to assist with practice and the "Horse" is used on gamedays to support road games with equipment. For home games look for it in the parking lot for the tailgate. Amazing support from our football community!! Thank you!

Also thank you to the restaurants that provide the amazing meals. Chick-fil-A, Table 570, Iron Horse Pub, Puerta Vallarta, Andy's Italian Kitchen, Roy's Catering & Winged Bear.
Another reason to be thankful is that every Saturday morning before the Trojans go off to meetings & film or to play JV football the Gridiron provides bagels for the Trojans from Brookside in Simsbury.
