Your grandpa may have played for the Canarsie Trojans but I don't think that was Canarsie High's team in the 1930s. Reason I say that is that I believe Canarsie High School was first built and opened up in the 1960s. I even know of two members of their first graduating class. This is all before my time so you need to speak to an older Canarsian but the nearest High School to Canarsie (which was basically some farm land and swamps back then from what I understand) in the 1930s may have been Tilden. Tilden also has a message board on this site. Good luck in your search. I recently did a family geneology project and it is very difficult to go back in time.

Canarsie High was not around in the 30's The only schools at that time were PS 114 & PS 115
I do not know where the Trojans team was from but may have been a club or church team.
There were a few homes and a store on the property of Canarsie High at that time.
