The Trojans welcomed the Ridgewoood Rebels on Friday night. 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).
On this night the Trojans were led in scoring by Connor VanderBrug with 38 points and 15 rebounds. Wes Ditchfield contributed 2 points as well as 4 points and 4 assists and Justin Rhiner had 12 points and 5 rebounds. Joe Bishop had 10 points on 3-3 shooting including back to back 3 pointers in the second half. Ben Lodewyk had 7 points and 4 assists and Robert McGivney came off the bench and grabbed 3 rebounds.
