The 2nd quarter was not kind to the Trojans as Walther was able to take the lead and build it to 32-23 at the half.

The Trojans were not able to pull out the victory and lost 52-59 closing out their season. Rob White led the Trojans with inspired play and scored 15 pts to go with 4 assists and 3 steals.

I am so proud of how hard the players have worked all season. They were a joy to coach. We would like to thank all the parents and fans for the outstanding support this season. We will miss our seniors and have high hopes for our younger players as we look to the future of Timothy Christian Trojan Basketball.
