"We have the fewest returners that I have had in 10 years," said coach Gordon Elliott.
That may be the case, but Friday night at Auburn Memorial Stadium, the Trojans still managed to have the answers.

There are ways to protect yourself as a pedestrian.
It's good to be Austin Pernell these days.
Kentlake High's three-sport standout has often been tabbed the last two years by football coach Chris Paulson as "the best athlete walking the school halls." In addition, Pernell is equally liked by his classmates and teammates due to his quiet, humble personality.
Pernell showed what all the excitement was about Thursday night at French Field. The mild-mannered senior intercepted two passes, chipped in a fumble recovery, ran for one touchdown and caught another, leading Kentlake past Auburn Riverside 49-7 in the South Puget Sound League North Division season opener for both teams.

And if all goes as planned, it’s going to spark the Chargers into contention for the South Puget Sound League North Division title. Possibly even net the Chargers their first league crown since 2002, when they rolled to an unbeaten 8-0 regular-season record.
Instead of that change taking place on the field, however, it’s happening on the sideline, where longtime coach Marty Osborn is handing over his offensive coordinating duties to assistant Jeff Shumake.
It’s all about putting points on the board, Osborn noted.
Numbers don’t lie.
Neither does tradition.
Despite having both on its side, the Kentwood High football team enters the season in a rather unusual predicament this fall. The Conquerors, contrary to their tradition and three-plus decades of success both in the regular season and the playoffs, are flying under the radar.
And it suits ’em just fine.
