Trojans split games in conference.

The varsity opened conference play on Friday night on the road at undefeated Illiana Christian.  A spirited atmosphere, strong Illiana team, and a poor outing by the Trojans all contributed to a 60-31 defeat.  A disappointing opener as Illiana displayed some tough defense and good shooting to hand us the loss. Ben Lodewyk had 11 pts. Trayvon Williams contributed 6 pts, 4 Rebs, 3 steals, and 2 assists.

On Saturday night, the Trojans opened their home schedule vs Walther Christian.  They had a much better effort this night and finished with a 69-48 victory.  Double figure scoring from Ben Lodewyk (19 pts, 6 assists, 6 Rebs) and Joey Davidson (13 pts, 4 Rebs, 1 assist). Trayvon Williams (9pts, 3 assists, 3 Rebs) continued his strong play off the bench. There were a lot of team contributions again tonight.  Jonny Strube (9 pts, 4 Rebs, 1 assist), Mitch Evenhouse (8 pts, 3 assists, 2 steals), Josh Caver (4pts, 2 assists, 2 Rebs), Jared Rhiner (5 Rebs, 2 steals), Tyler LeGrand (4 rebs, 1 assist), Nick Tameling (4 Rebs, 2 pts), Bryan Leide (3 pts), Jon Hoekstra (2 pts, 1 reb, 1 steal), and Joe Bootsma (2 Rebs, 1 assist) all cracked the stat sheet on the evening.  

We are still putting things together early in the season.  The Trojans hope to continue to improve as the season moves along.

The Trojans have a very busy conference week.  Tuesday at Chicago Christian at 7:30. Friday home vs Guerin Prep at 7:30 and Saturday home vs Elmwood Park at 7:30.  Please come out and support the Trojans.
