On the night of Tuesday, February 5th the Trojans hosted Elmwood Park and prevailed by a score of 70-58. The Trojans led most of the way but only by the slimmest of margins early. TC led by 2 points after one quarter, by 3 points at halftime, and by six points entering the fourth quarter. The beginning of the fourth quarter is when the Trojans took control of the game. The Trojans attack was aided by 29 points(5-8 3pt FG) by Connor VanderBrug, 20 points by Danny Leach, and 10 points(4-6 FG) by Khali Valrie. With 3 minutes to play the Trojans had built their lead to 17 points and ended the game prevailing by 12 points.
Key contributors in the victory included Wes Ditchfield with 6 rebounds and George Thompson with 7 rebounds. Justin Funchess chipped in 6 points and Luke Davidson provided three assists for the game!
On Friday night the Trojans traveled to Illiana for a conference matchup-up with the Vikings. Illiana came out hot and the Trojans struggled to contain the Vikings on the defensive end and trailed by 17 going into halftime. At the start of the third quarter the Trojans closed the lead to 12 with baskets from Luke Davidson and two by Jimmy Larkin but it would get no closer on this night, with the Trojans eventually losing by a score of 74-52.
Leading scorer for the game was Justin Funchess with 10 points. Jimmy Larkin and Danny Leach had 8 points each and Justin Rhiner had 7 points. Next up for the Trojans is hosting Walther Lutheran on Tuesday, February 12th at 7:30pm. Tuesday is the last home game of the season so we will take some time before the game to acknowledge seniors Phil Stanton, Danny Leach, Jimmy Larkin, Justin Funchess, Matt Huizinga, Rich Medina, Luke Davidson, and their parents for their contributions to the Timothy Christian Basketball Program!
