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.
