So we just try and get the district trophies to give a good appearance for each sport. As is the case at Carroll, Falfurrias has too much hardware, too little room. We're just getting too cluttered up. We just went with bigger honors. It's a good problem to have.
Trophy cases can be an exercise to buy and build.
So trophies from events such as basketball tournaments and cross country and track meets have found themselves scattered across the campus and area. Others are stored in coaches' offices or in the library. Or trophies may be recycled. At Falfurrias, old tournament trophies can be replated and awarded in varsity and junior varsity tournaments, Salinas said. At Calallen, the volleyball team and girls basketball team have won so many titles through the years that the same trophy is kept in the case, and the nameplate is switched on the trophy each year to represent that season's playoff success.
