Trojans drop non-conference game at Immaculate Conception High School

The Trojans visited their neighbors to the north and lost the non-conference game to Immaculate Conception High School 51-62. IC never trailed in the contest as the Trojans started slowly and although kept fighting could not take the lead in the game. The game was tied with 4:00 to go in the 3rd quarter. That is the closest TC could get as IC made some crucial baskets to close out the game. IC was fresh off their football state championship and although not fully in basketball mode as of yet, 6-8 senior all-stater Matt Purdom was more than ready as he poured in 23 points vs the Trojans. The Trojans were led in scoring by Reggie Greenwood and Mark Penczak with 13 and 11 points respectively. Mike Pizzello provided a spark on the defensive end with 3 touches and 2 steals. Rob Stein came off the bench to battle inside and had 4 blocks and 3 rebounds. He finished with 7 points. The Trojans travel to Chicago Christian on Friday night as they begin the final year of the Private School League Conference. The Varsity Girls play at 6:00 followed by the Varsity Boys at 7:30.
