Congratulations to the Trojans from Timothy Christian for winning the Lisle Thanksgiving Championship! They beat Montini, Team Englewood, Chicago Perspectives, and then Lisle in the championship contest.
On Friday night the Trojans played against Chicago Perspectives Charter and their 6'8 center Anthony Davis. Although Davis ended the night with 41 pts (18 in the fourth quarter), the Trojans were able to keep control most of the game and prevail 80-61. Contributions came from all players and they were led by Justin Peeples (18 pts, 3 assists) and Reggie Greenwood.
Reggie finished the game with 24 pts, 9 assists, 6 steals, and 5 rebounds for a real strong all around game. Mike Pizzello and Rob Stein contributed 6 rebounds and Mark Penczak (8 pts, 4 rebs.), Matt Morrison (9 pts, 6 rebs), Chad Vos (6 pts), and Troy Ellens (5 pts, 3 rebs, 4 stls) all played key roles.
Saturday night was against the 3-0 Lisle Lions for the tournament championship. This game was a good test for the team as the teams battled back and forth and the Trojans were unable to shake the Lions from Lisle until the final score of 62-45.
Overall strong play tonight as Rob Stein (17 pts, 11 rebs), Justin Peeples (17 pts, 4 stls, 3 rebs), and Reggie Greenwood (11 pts, 7 rebs, 4 stls, 9 assists), Mark Penczak (10 pts, 2 rebs) and Mike Pizzello (2 pts, 2 stls, 2 rebs, 2 assists) all gave strong contributions to secure the championship.
Coach LeGrand was very pleased with the play of the Trojans in the young season capturing the championship. The entire team has been working hard together and did a very good job. We have identified some items we need to keep working on to get better, but overall did a good job in this tournament.
Reggie Greenwood, Justin Peeples, and Rob Stein were selected on the all-tournament teams. Good job guys and well deserved!
The Trojans have a tough schedule coming up. We are home on Tuesday night vs. Immaculate Conception and home on Friday against Illiana Christian.
Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans!
