On Tuesday the Trojans traveled to Ridgewood for their last conference game of the season. The Trojans battled the Rebels from Ridgewood and were down by 1 pt at the half. During the 3rd quarter the Trojans were able to find a good rhythm and take a lead of 10 pts. That lead would not last as the Rebels would storm back and close the lead to 1 pt with 1:30 remaining in the game. Mitch Evenhouse (8 pts, 1 assist, 1 reb) drained a big 3 pt shot to increase the lead to 4 and the Trojans were able to hit free throws to secure the victory 57-50.
Ben Lodewyk (16 pts, 5 rebs, 4 assists, 4 steals) Joey Davidson (15 pts, 4 rebs, 1 assist), Joe Bishop (7 pts, 5 assists, 3 rebs, 2 stls), Rob McGivney (9 pts, 6 rebs, 2 assists, 3 blocks), and Riley Chapman (2 pts, 2 rebs) all rounded out the stat sheet on the night.
Timothy Christian joined the Metro Suburban Conference in 2009-10 season and the last conference championship was in 2008-09 in the last year of the Private School League Conference. With the victory Tuesday, the Trojans were able to secure the first ever Metro Suburban Boys basketball conference championship in the East Division. This is the first year for the 2 divisions in the conference and they were able to win all their second half games to share the championship with Illiana Christian.
Congratulations to the team who have believed in each other and have worked very hard to battle on the road with some tough victories. It is a well-deserved co-conference championship.
