The Trojans are best known for their football success and girls volleyball prowess. The volleyball team has won 16 state titles and are always contenders in the state tourney. The football team is a fixture in the state playoffs, but have not won the state title since 1997. In '97 the team went 13-0 and won the 3A state title its first year in that classification. Since '97, the farthest the Trojans have advanced in the playoffs is the semifinals, doing so in 2001, 2004 and 2009. The 1992 Boys Soccer team experienced significant success under Coach Steve Ririe. Ririe began coaching the Trojans in 1989 and over his 4 years of coaching, led the Trojans to their first and only State Championship in 1992. That year, the Morgan Trojans were the only undefeated soccer team in the state of Utah, finishing with a record of 17-0, and a championship victory over local rival, Park City with a final score of 2-1. Ririe was required to leave the team, uncoached for the majority of the season as he was sent to Desert Shield/Storm in early 1992. Fortunately, he was able to return for the final two games of the season, and was present to coach the team in the State Championship.
