Death. Taxes. Maroa-Forsyth playing into November.

It's just become the standard for the Trojans but Coach Josh Jostes says the excitement of making the postseason and celebrating with his team never gets old.

Coach Jostes calls this year an interesting one for his Trojans. Maroa-Forsyth ended up with just three home games after a cancellation by Riverton before the year started. That added up to almost 1,000 miles traveled for road games in the Sangamo Conference and non-conference matchups.

Maroa-Forsyth came into the year with some big holes to replace but with a D-1 tight end and development of playmakers, Coach Jostes' team had another successful 8-1 season.

The Trojans draw former Okaw Valley Conference rival Decatur St. Teresa in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs. Game time in Maroa is 1 pm Saturday.
