October 17, 1975.  Catholic Field.

In the first meeting between these two teams at their co-built and co-owned stadium, which was officially dedicated at halftime, Steve Durden scored two touchdowns to lead Catholic to the victory.  The Knights outgained the Trojans by 346 to 87 yards, and 265 to 51 in rushing.  The Trojans actually netted negative rushing yards on all plays except for one carry by Danny Dean, a 68 yard run to the Knights three yard line.  However, a personal foul penalty on the following play negated a touchdown and eventually ended Saint James' only serious scoring threat of the game.  The loss also virtually eliminated the Trojans' chances of a playoff berth in their first year of Alabama High School Athletic Association competition, despite a 3 - 0 area record prior to this contest.
