For the past 3 years every time the Trojans have been scheduled to play the Holland Christian Maroons from Michigan there has been a snow storm. The snow came down hard on Friday to cancel Friday night's game with Fenton but the roads were clear for Holland to travel for Saturday night's contest at Timothy Christian.
The gymnasium was packed and the electric atmosphere helped the Trojans get off to a very strong start jumping out to a 12-0 lead. The Trojans were able to control the first quarter and at the end of the 1st quarter led 16-3. The 2nd quarter saw Holland Christian settle down and take control and outscore the Trojans 17-5. Timothy held a slight one point lead at halftime 21-20. The 3rd quarter was played evenly with each team scoring and defending to knot the score 31-31 going into the 4th quarter. Holland Christian was able to take and increase their lead to 9. They held a 7 point lead with 2 minutes left in the game. The Trojans were able to keep fighting defensively and with some missed free throws from Holland and some key baskets by the Trojans, the Trojans were able to close the gap. After a missed Holland Christian free throw, the Trojans had possession of the ball with 10 seconds to go down 40-42. The Trojans ran a set play and after Holland defended the initial option, Danny Leach was able to find Tyler VanderBrug who eyed up and shot a 3 pt shot which hit the rim and bounced in at the buzzer for a 43-42 victory. This sent the RED ZONE crowd into a frenzy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF_2YThNiV4
