The Trojans lost a hard fought contest to Providence St. Mel on Friday night 57-51. 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 Trojans were led by Danny Leach (23 pts (7 3-pters), 3 rebs, 2 assists), Chris Ridolphi (11 pts, 7 rebs, 2 assists, 1 stl, 1 block), Matt Morrison (8 pts, 6 rebs, 2 assists, 4 blks, 1 stl), and Tyler VanderBrug (9 rebs, 2 assists, 4 pts). Also cracking the scoresheet was Connor VanderBrug (4 pts, 3 rebs, 1 assist, 1 blk), Matt Robinson (3 pts, 2 stls, 2 assists) and Luke Davidson (1 reb). This was a very high energy game and one in which the Trojans hope to learn from as they move forward this season.
Our last game will be Saturday at 7:30 pm at Lisle High School vs. the host Lisle Lions. Please come out and support the Trojans.
