Trojans defeated by IC Catholic Prep

On Saturday night the Trojans went across town to visit the Knights of Immaculate Conception. The day was dedicated to the fight against cancer with all three levels of both the boys and girls playing throughout the day to go along with auctions and T-shirts sales to raise money to support the fight for the cure. The game was tight throughout the first half as IC led by one point after the first quarter. TC made a run to start the second quarter as they took a 4-pt lead with about three minutes to go in the half when Connor VanderBrug picked up his third foul. IC took advantage of the Trojans losing their big man to take a 4-pt lead at the half. The second half was highly competitive just like the first. Using the 3-pt shot to kept them close in the first half the Trojans just weren't able to come up with the timely three in the second half. Seventeen turnovers and only three steals on the night certainly didn't help the TC. In the end, the Trojans lost by a score of 49-58.

High rebounder for the night was Justin Rhiner who had 8 rebounds to go along with 8 points. Wes Ditchfield had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. High Scorer for the game was Connor VanderBrug with 23 pts to go along with 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Guards Ben Lodewyk and Joe Bishop handed out 4 assists each.

The lose drops TC's record to 10-6(5-1 conference) with their next game being at 7pm on Friday, Jan. 31st at Glenbard South. Thanks to all those who braved the cold to come out to IC and support the Trojans.

Trojans get victory at Illiana !!

On Saturday, the Trojans completed their first round of conference play at Illiana Christian. This game was a make-up game from the cancellation earlier because of weather. The game was a tightly played contest throughout. Illiana had the early lead as the Trojans tried to find some rhythm on the offensive end. The Trojans gathered themselves and took a small lead into halftime. The game remained close throughout. Timothy was able to go on a small run and increase the lead in the 4th quarter. The Vikings would not go away quietly as they started making 3 pt shots and the Trojans were able to hit enough free throws down the stretch to preserve the victory 53-47.

The Trojans were led by Connor VanderBrug (20 pts, 9 rebs, 1 assist) and Wes Ditchfield (8 rebs, 5 pts, 3 steals, 2 assists, 1 block). Joe Bishop had a solid game as well contributing 9 pts, 5 rebs, 3 assists, and 7 steals and Ben Lodewyk (11 pts) knocked down some key shots.

The Trojans showed a strong resolve to win on the road at Illiana. The Trojans have finished the first half of Metro Suburban conference play with a 5-1 record and 10-5 overall.

The Trojans next game will be Saturday night Jan. 25 at Immaculate Conception at 8:15 pm. Please come out and support the Trojans.
