They're fired up in the Robertson County town of Calvert as the high school boys basketball team heads to state.

Calvert High School held a pep rally Thursday afternoon at the school gym before sending the Trojans to Austin.

And they weren't holding anything back as the band, dance team, and cheerleaders got the students and fans pumped up.

Calvert takes on Roxton High School Friday night at 7 at the Erwin Center in a Class A-Division 2 semi-final game.

Player Tyrone Huffman said, "It's a big game. We're very excited. We haven't been to state in 17 years. In 1995 we made it to the state finals. But this year we're thinking about bringing a championship home."

The basketball team is pumped, and if the Trojans win Friday night, they play for a state championship on Saturday.
