The Trojans competed last week in a Christmas tournament at Glenbard West High School. Opening night saw the Trojans battle with the undefeated warriors from Wheaton Academy. It was a close game (3pts) through three quarters but the Trojans were outplayed in the 4th quarter and lost 72-55. Game 2 was a victory vs. Addison Trail. Trailing 32-23 at the half, the Trojans were able to put together a solid 2nd half for the victory. Game 3 was a contest with Northside Prep. After a sluggish first quarter, the Trojans were able to finish strong and come away with a 56-27 victory. Based on their 2nd place finish in pool play, the Trojans played Glenbard West who finished in 2nd place in their pool. Although the Trojans gave up a distinct height advantage as Glenbard West has numerous players 6'6, they played a very strong first half. The Trojans led 34-25 at the half. The second half saw the lead slip away and Glenbard West finally tied the game with under a minute to play. Poor offensive execution as well as poor free throw shooting did in the Trojans on this night as they lost in overtime 58-53. Congratulations to Mike Pizzello who was selected by the other coaches to be placed on the all-tournament team.
The Trojans and coaching staff would like to tell everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The next game is Friday Jan. 7 at Ridgewood. Game time is 7:00 pm. Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans.
