On the 50th anniversary of Thrall's first district championship in football, players from that historic team accepted fresh trophies and warm applause Friday night from an overflow home crowd. Arguably the best team in school history, the 1960 Class A Tigers outscored their opponents 304-30 while rolling through a 9-0 regular season. Trophies honoring that milestone season were secured in a glass case until a fire gutted the high school in 1969. The trophies remained a memory until Larry Johnson, the quarterback of the 1960 team, made a pitch to create new ones in time for Friday's ceremony at Tiger Stadium.
