Noteworthy:
1981: The senior Trojans join the Henry Street Hawks as three time senior champions as they defeat the Paul Dwyer Saints 20-6. The junior Trojans capture the league title with a 40-14 romp over the Paul Dwyer Saints becoming the first school in LOSSA junior football history to successfully defend their title. The combined junior/senior championship duplicates the feat accomplished by Henry Street in 1979.
1980: Returning to the championship final for the first time in seven years, the junior Trojans shut out the Eastdale Eagles 10-0 to earn their first LOSSA junior football title.
1977: Pickering's quest for three consecutive senior championships is thwarted by the Henry Street Hawks, who hand the Trojans a 19-6 setup in the league finals.
1976: The Senior Trojans become the first football program to repeat as LOSSA champions prevailing by a 7-0 score over the Eastdale Eagles. The back to back shut outs by Pickering in the senior Championship finals has never been duplicated,
1975: The Pickering Senior team routs the Anderson Raiders 43-0 to gain their first LOSSA senior championship. The 43 point margin of victory remains the largest margin in a championship senior final.
1973: The Junior Trojans advance to the LOSSA championship against the Uxbridge Tigers. At the end of regulation time, the two teams were tied. Uxbridge would prevail in overtime by a score of 21-15.
1960: The Pickering Trojans, stocked with inexperienced players, are thoroughly defeated 99-6 by Oshawa Central. Trojan football would go to the back burner for nearly a decade.
