In the 1977 season opener, the only Thursday night game of the year, Wayne Dunklin was the star for the visiting Red Devils.  He rushed 17 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns in the first four minutes of the game, caught two passes for 32 more yards, and intercepted a pass and returned it 25 yards.  Saint James' Richard Steckley blocked a punt setting up the only Trojan score, but any momentum was quickly forfeited as the subsequent kickoff was returned for an immediate Lowndes County touchdown.  The Trojans were held to only 23 yards offense, 6 yards rushing and 17 yards passing.
