Topeka High’s football squad concluded the 2025 campaign with a 3‑6 overall record, placing fourth in the Centennial League standings.
The team burst onto the scene with a 2‑0 start, winning three of its first four games before a five‑game losing streak dropped them down the ladder.
Long‑standing tradition fuels expectations; generations of standout Trojans have built a reputation for competitive spirit that still resonates in the community.
Head coach Jason Filbeck stresses that football remains a cornerstone of local identity, noting the league’s depth and the need for the Trojans to reclaim their place among the contenders.
A New Chapter Begins
The 2026 schedule opens on September 3 at Hummer Sports Park against Highland Park, with later contests against Dodge City, Washburn Rural and Manhattan, the latter two slated for Thursday evenings.
Senior Devin Ponte, who has voiced the team’s desire to prove its capability, says the players are focused on elevating performance to the next competitive level.
