TC loses in 3A Regional Final

It was a busy week for the Trojans. Capturing a victory Monday sent them to the 3A regional semifinal to play Chicago(Clemente). The Trojans used some hot outside shooting from Ben Lodewyk and some great defensive play to take a 26-18 lead into halftime. The Trojans were able to extend their lead to 12 points at the end of the third quarter and came away with a 53-41 victory. The Trojans were led in scoring by Connor VanderBrug with 21 points and 7 rebounds. Ben Lodewyk had 17 points on 5-9 shooting. Joe Bishop contributed 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists and Wes Ditchfield had 6 points and 3 rebounds. The win advanced the Trojans to the 3A regional final versus top seeded St. Joseph.

On Friday Night the Trojans played St. Joseph in the 3A regional final. It was a back and forth first half with the Trojans up early and then St. Joseph coming back to take a 1 point lead at halftime. The Trojans came out strong early in the second half going up by a score of 39-32 on a Connor VanderBrug 3 pointer. The Chargers then made a run to close the third quarter and took a 1 point lead into the fourth quarter. St. Josephs then extended that lead to a score of 49-40 before a Joe Bishop basket. The Trojans fought hard but were unable to convert on a couple of opportunities late in the game to close the gap and St. Josephs ended up winning by a score of 51-42. The lose marked the end of the season for the Trojans. TC ended the year with an 18-10 record and a 9-3 conference record.

For the game Connor VanderBrug led the Trojans with 27 points and 10 rebounds.

Before the game the Trojans took time to recognize their seniors including pommers, cheerleaders, and boys basketball players Logan Byrne, Wes Ditchfield, Justin Rhiner, Connor VanderBrug, and Khali Valrie. The coaches want to recognize each of these men for the commitment they have made to the Timothy Christian basketball family and want them to know that they will be missed and thank them for the hard work they have put in during the past years.

Then came the game... Senior Justin Rhiner came out hitting from long range knocking down four first half three pointers. Senior Connor VanderBrug was very effective both inside and outside as he knocked down three first half three pointers and went into halftime with 22 points which helped the Trojans gain a 38-27 lead after one half of basketball. TC then used a strong third quarter outscoring the Rebels 24-12 to go into the final quarter with a 23 point lead. The game ended with the Trojans winning by a score of 73-49 and finishing in 2nd place in the Metro Suburban with a 9-3 conference record (16-9 overall).
