Thanksgiving Champions at Lisle
After opening with a win vs. Montini, the Trojans finished the tournament beating Driscoll Catholic on Friday 57-35 and then captured the tournament championship on Saturday evening beating the host Lisle Lions 67-34.
The Driscoll game saw a very sluggish and sloppy first quarter for both teams as the score at the end of one quarter was 6-5 in favor of Driscoll. There was some concern going into the game about Driscoll's big men standing at 6'7 and 6'6 as well as their pressure defense. The 2nd quarter saw the Trojans turn up the defensive pressure of their own and begin to find their rhythm outscoring their opponent 18-2. The pressure continued into the 3rd quarter and the Trojans had a 21 point quarter. Many Trojans contributed to the win. Junior Kordel Smith led the Trojans with 13 points and 6 rebounds. Reggie Greenwood had 11 points, 5 assists, and 6 steals. Sophomores Mike Pizzello and Mark Penczak once again were big contributors. Penczak contributed 2 3pointers and finished with 8 points. Pizzello played outstanding defense against bigger players and had 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Peter Tameling once again was a force on the boards gathering 11 rebounds and playing excellent post defense.
The final game saw the Trojans once again display their quickness and depth. Beginning the game once again somewhat sluggish, the team regrouped and began using their quickness to their advantage on both ends of the court. The Trojans were leading 17-7 after the first quarter and never looked back. They continued the pressure defense and also had their running game beginning to show as they shared the ball considerably well finishing with 21 assists. Senior Jaaron Holmes led the Trojans with an incredible all around game scoring 5 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. Jaaron also played outstanding defense. Reggie Greenwood had 13 points 4 steals and 2 assists. Senior Robert White had 9 points and 4 assists. Juniors Kordel Smith and Justin Peeples had fine games finishing with 9 points a piece. The depth of the Trojans was clearly evident as everyone contributed in one way or another in the victory. Congratulations to Juniors Kordel Smith and Reggie Greenwood who were named to the all-tournament team. Both were very deserving and we felt that many of our other players could have been nominated as well.
After the first 3 games, the Trojans would like to thank the fan support. We are a work in progress. We are hoping to cut down on our unforced turnovers. It was very exciting to see that we have so many people that can step in and supply whatever the team is looking for at a particular time. We had some times dealing with foul trouble or perhaps a defensive assignment and the depth of our team was very evident. We are enjoying trying to continue building the team chemistry needed to become a top team. Our next game will be on Tuesday evening at Immaculate Conception High School at 7:30pm. Please keep coming out to support the Trojans.

Trojans win opener at Lisle
The Trojans opened the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament with a 56-41 win over Montini on Tuesday Nov. 25. Some first game nerves were evident as the Trojans fell behind early to find themselves on the short end at the quarter 15-9. The shortfall continued to 21-9 when Sophomore Mark Penczak drilled a 3 point basket to cut the deficit to 9 and the team continued to whittle down the score to trail 21-25 at the half. The Trojans regrouped at halftime and came out with renewed energy and played very good team basketball to outscore their opponent 22-7 in the 3rd quarter. The Trojans also won the 4th quarter battle and finished the game with the final score of 56-41. Although the team did start a little rough, it was nice to see the Trojans keep battling and using their teammates to continue moving forward as the game played on. The game showed the depth of the Trojans as was evident in the box score. The Trojans were led by Peter Tameling with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Reggie Greenwood finished with 10 points, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Jaaron Holmes kept the team in the game in the 2nd quarter playing with 2 fouls and showed tremendous leadership finishing with 7 points and 3 assists. Junior Kordel Smith finished with 9 points and had a tremendous offensive rebound highlight going above the rebound to tip in a missed shot. Senior Rob White finished with 4 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds. Sophomores Mark Penczak and Mike Pizzello began their varsity careers in fine fashion. Mark finished with 5 points and 1 assist and Mike Pizzello finished with 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals. Mike also played an excellent defensive game. The Trojans shot 78.6% from the Free throw line. The next game is Friday Night at Lisle at 6:00 vs. Driscoll Catholic and again on Saturday at Lisle at 7:30 vs the host Lions from Lisle. Please come on out and support the Trojans.
