It is Christmas time and that means back-to-back-to-back games for the Trojans and all teams participating in the Jack Tosh Holiday Classic. After splitting the first two games of the tournament the Trojans captured their second win of the tournament downing the Minooka Indians by a score of 44-43. The game was very much in doubt throughout as the Trojans led early only to have Minooka fight and claw back to tie the score 21-21 at halftime. Minooka came out of halftime executing on all cylinders as they went on a 14-5 run in the third quarter to take a 9-pt lead at 35-26. The Trojans, however, rallied back to tie the score up at 38-38, aided by two three point field goals by Justin Rhiner. For the rest of the game it went from TC leading to a tie score and ultimately TC leading. Two free throws each by Khali Valrie and Robert McGivney gave TC the lead with minutes to play. Valrie got TC the lead for good on a lay-up that extended the lead to 44-40. The Indians made 3-pt field goal to bring the game to 44-43 and that is how it would end as TC came out victorious.
In a relatively low scoring game the Trojans were led in scoring by Khali Valrie with 20 points. Connor VanderBrug had 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks while Robert McGivney chipped in 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals. The Trojans next game is Monday, December 30 at 7:30pm at York High School against Waubonsie Valley. With the win TC improves its record to 8-4(3-1 conference). Thanks for supporting TC basketball!
