Trojans win 2 this weekend!

The Trojans were finally back in action this weekend. They had not played a game since the Glenbard West Tournament on Dec. 23. On Friday night, they travelled to Fenton for a league contest. The rust was very evident as the Trojans struggled to get any type of a flow on either the offensive or defensive end. Fenton went into halftime with a 36-25 lead. The deficit grew to about 14 with 5:00 left in the quarter when the Trojans went on a strong run and started playing with more intensity. At the end of the 3rd quarter the score was 48-46 in favor of Fenton. The Trojans were able to continue fighting in the 4th quarter in a good battle and held on to win the conference contest 59-54. Rob Stein scored 21 pts and grabbed 5 rebounds. Pt. guard Reggie Greenwood had 12 pts, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 4 rebounds. Justin Peeples and Mark Penczak chipped in with 12 and 7 points respectively. Sophomore Matt Morrison finished with 7 rebounds and 4 points as well. The Trojans showed good intensity the final quarter and a half and gutted out a victory, but know they can play better.

On Saturday night, the Trojans were finally able to play a home game vs. out of state rival Holland Christian from Holland Michigan. The last home game was on Dec. 4. It was nice to be home in a packed house to play a Holland Christian team that was much taller than the Trojans. The Trojans played a much better game than the previous night and came out firing on all cylinders. The intensity that had lacked was present on both the offensive and defensive end and the Trojans were able to get their running game going early which set the tone for the evening. The entire team came out with a lot of energy and it carried over into the entire game. Because of this the Trojans were able to secure a 72-56 victory. A solid all around game was turned in by Reggie Greenwood (21 pts, 7 assists, 5 steals, and 4 rebounds). Rob Stein scored a career high of 32 pts to go along with 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. Justin Peeples (7 pts, 5 rebounds), Mike Pizzello (3 steals, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 pts), Mark Penczak (6 pts, 4 rebounds, 3 assists,) all turned in solid games. The Trojans would like to thank the entire fans for the incredible atmosphere and support at the game. It was greatly appreciated and a fun high school atmosphere. The Trojans move to 12-4 on the year and continue their season with a contest on Friday night at Metro Suburban conference opponent Ridgewood at 7:00 pm. Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans.
