Trojans lose to Immaculate Conception

Tuesday night was the first home game for the Trojans. Things got off to a good start with the Trojans jumping out to a 10-6 lead. After that it was all IC as they rattled off a 14-0 run for a 20-10 lead at the end of the first period. From then on, the Trojans tried to play catch up and the closest they could get was within 4 pts near the end of the 3rd quarter. Although the Trojans kept battling and hung around, the Knights from IC were too much for the Trojans on this night as their defense held the Trojans to a cold shooting night of 29% from the field. IC won the game 67-54. The Trojans were led by Tyler VanderBrug with a career high of 23 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assists 2 blks, and 1 steal.

The game was a battle from the beginning until the end as the Knights from Providence St. Mel and the Trojans from Timothy Christian laid it all on the court Friday night in Lisle at the Thanksgiving tournament. Both teams entered the game with 3-0 records and were trying to secure that 4th victory to have a chance to clinch the Thanksgiving championship on Saturday night.

The first half was a hard fought contest with St. Mel grabbing control midway through the 2nd quarter. The Trojans fought back to make a small run to close the gap to 28-22 at the half. The 3rd quarter was similar to the 2nd as the Knights opened up a lead and the Trojans again whittled down at the quarter to bring the score to 38-32. A fourth quarter saw a furious rally from the Trojans. Danny Leach made 4 3 pters in the quarter including a 4 pt play but at the end the Trojans came up on the short end of a 57-51 score.

The entire team provided the energy necessary to get through a hard fought 3rd game in as many nights.
