Primary Sources

Modern Era

MaxPreps.com

Public team history pages. Coverage begins somewhere between 2004-05 and 2010-11, depending on the sport.

Paper of Record

The Daily News (Huntingdon)

Huntingdon's paper of record since 1922. Its own web archive covers roughly 2010–present; older content is available through NewspaperArchive.com, indexed back to the 1800s.

Personal Archive

Submitted Clippings

Submitted newspapers.com and NewspaperArchive.com scans, plus MaxPreps PDF exports — the source of the complete 1970-2011 football archive.

Session 13

Processed a submitted Daily_News_Archive.xlsx — a normalized database

Session 14

That spreadsheet led to a correction: the 1993 rushing/scoring leader was Tink Stennett, not Ferdie Vaughn as an earlier, lower-confidence pass had recorded

Session 15

A submitted, more thoroughly corrected archive pass (Aug 2026) closed several open items at once: confirmed Alan Hartman's football head-coaching tenure ran 1986-1998 (68-63-3, winningest coach in program history) rather than starting in 2011; confirmed the 1976-1977 head coach's full name as Russ Quay; confirmed Mike Maclay's tenure ran 3 seasons (4-26) through 2005-06, with Dave Hummel's real debut in 2006-07; and traced the football program's founding back to 1912 under the “Captain Jack” nickname, with a complete all-time record of 350-507-31 through 2010

Session 16

A full re-read of the original 1993 season clipping settled that season's record at 10-1 (an undefeated 10-0 regular season, the program's first) — resolving the earlier 7-3-0 vs. 10-1 conflict in the district database's favor, though one small wrinkle (whether the regular season itself was 9-0 or 10-0) remains open. The same pass added full season-by-season won-loss logs for boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, and soccer, plus fuller individual-stat detail across nearly every sport

Have More Clippings?

This archive grows every time someone shares a program, a scorebook, a scanned clipping, or even a clear phone photo of one. If you have anything for a Trojan team — any sport, any era — it can be added here.
