Trojans split this weekend.

This past weekend the Trojans split a pair of contests. On Friday, The Trojans continued their conference play with a victory over Westminster Christian. We had a slow start being outscored in the fist quarter 10-7. The 2nd quarter the Trojans played a little better and went in at half leading 22-14. In the second half the Trojans turned up the heat and came away with a strong defensive effort and won 61-26. The Trojans were led in scoring by Reggie Greenwood (17 points, 3 steals), Peter Tameling (14 points, 7 rebounds,) and Kordel Smith (10 points) Jaaron Holmes had a strong game contributing 5 assists, 5 touches, and 2 steals and Rob White contributed 5 rebounds, 4 steals, and 5 assists, and 4 touches. It was a fine defensive effort by everyone.
On Saturday, the weather was not the best, but we still travelled to Holland Michigan for our game against Holland Christian. It was very exciting for the guys to play in the DeVos center. The locker rooms and floor made it extra special to be part of the event. The game started out with a frenetic pace as the Trojans led 21-16 at the quarter. Holland took the lead early in the 3rd quarter and the game was close throughout as the shorter Trojans battled the taller Holland Christian team. We had our chances down the stretch but were not able to capitalize. The Trojans only missed 5 free throws on the night, but 4 of the misses were in the 4th quarter. Holland Christian won the game 65-59. The Trojans were led by Peter Tameling (19 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 steals), Jaaron Holmes (12 points and 4 assists), Reggie Greenwood (13 points, 2 assists) and Robert White (7 points, 3 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists). The Trojans played good team basketball for the most part and had only 1 turnover on the evening.
The Trojans now stand 9-5, 3-0 on the season. Thank you to so many fans that came out on a bad weather day to support the team. Please continue to support the Trojans! The next 3 games are on the road Friday at Luther South, Saturday at Latin, and Tuesday at Fenton. We return home for Homecoming next Friday vs. Aurora Christian.
