Trojans drop first of season vs. Illiana Christian

The men from Timothy loss their first game of the season to Illiana Christian on Friday night. The gym was packed and we had a great atmosphere. Illiana came out and grabbed control in the first quarter and most of the first half. The Trojans battled back and tied the score at half 30-30. In the second half the teams battled back and forth with the game tied with about 4:00 to go in the fourth quarter. The Vikings from Illiana were able to hit the crucial shots and also the free throws down the stretch to win the game 65-49.
The Trojans were outrebounded 41-29 and also struggled to hit shots on this night. They shot just 33% from the field and 55% from the free throw line. The Trojans will continue to work hard in practice and hope to play much better in our next game. The next game is against conference favorite and area powerhouse Riverside Brookfield at their place on Friday night Dec. 11 at 7:00 pm. We really appreciated the tremendous support on Friday. Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans. The Trojans move to 5-1 on the season and 0-1 in the conference.
