On Tuesday, February 12th the Trojans honored their seniors and also hosted the Walther Lutheran Broncos. The Trojans came out sluggish in the first half as they struggled to find their shooting touch. Trailing by 18 at halftime the Trojans refused to give up, reducing the lead to 9 at the end of the third quarter and closing the gap to as few as two. In the end though, the Broncos pulled out the victory by a score of 57-50. Connor VanderBrug led the scoring with 20 points, along with 6 rebounds, and Danny Leach contributed 10 points and 4 assists, but the Trojans were unable to overcome a poor shooting night from the field.
To aid the Trojans cause Wes Ditchfield had 3 rebounds and 2 steals, Luke Davidson had 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Justin Funchess had 7 points(3-4 FG). The lose dropped the Trojans record to 10-14(3-7 league). The coaching staff would like to thank the seniors for the contributions that they have made to the TC basketball progam!
On Friday night the Trojans played at Fenton High School and used a hot-start by junior Connor VanderBrug to take an 11 point lead only 4 minutes into the game. The Bison rallied closing the gap to 6 by the end of the quarter but they could draw it no closer the rest of the way. TC used a stingy defensive effort in the second quarter to go into halftime with a 10-point lead. In the second half TC extended the lead to 16 by the end of third quarter and came away with a 60-43 victory. For the game, Connor VanderBrug had 29 points on 6-10 shooting from beyond the arc. Khali Valrie contributed 4 rebounds and Luke Davidson pulled down 8 boards. Danny Leach had 17 points on 7-14 shooting, while also contributing 5 rebounds, 4 steals, and 4 assists. The win improved the Trojans record to 11-14(4-7 league).
The Trojans regular season finale is on Friday, Feb. 22 at Ridgewood High School at 7:00pm. On Monday, Feb. 25 the Trojans begin 3A regional with a matchup vs. Chicago Wells at 5:00pm at Chicago Marshall. Thank you for your support of TC athletics!
