On Friday night the boys traveled to Melrose Park to play the Broncos of Walther Christian.  The Boys started fast and were too much for the Broncos; the boys led 44-22 at half and increased that lead in the 2^nd half to a final score of 73-41.  The Trojans got a lot of nice performances

On Saturday the boys hosted conference opponent Elmwood Park. Again the boys got control of the game early and never looked back; up 13 at half 38-25 they continued to apply the pressure for a 66-47 victory.  The boys again had a lot of great performances as all 12 players saw playing time.

B. Orange (19p/ 10r/ 3b/ 9-12 fgm) J. Strube (18p/ 4r/ 4 3ptfgm) J. Davidson (14p/ 3r/ 3a) Ty. Merrick (4p/ 5r/ 5a) M. Thomas (5p/ 2r/ 2a) J. Allen (2p/ 4r/ 2a).  The Trojans shot 50% from the field (28-56) and again displayed their unselfishness by dishing out 20 assists on 28 made baskets.  The win improved the boy’s overall record to 6-1 and 2-1 in conference play.

The boys are going to prepare and score well on their finals and then travel to Ridgewood on Friday to take on a tough Rebel team… We hope the RED ZONE can travel to cheer us on.

The Trojans fell short on Wednesday night losing to top seed Aurora Christian 48-42 at the Aurora Christian regional.  The teams played a tight first quarter but during the second quarter, the Trojans struggled offensively and trailed at the half 21-16.  In the second half the Trojans would fall behind by as many as 10 pts but battle back to take a brief one point lead.  The team would battle to the very end, but couldn't  quite close the gap for the final score.  We are very proud of the guys for the effort, hard work, and resolve needed to almost pull off the victory.

Monday night the 7th seeded Trojans opened up Regional play at Aurora Christian vs 6th seed St. Edwards.  The game would be mostly a defensive battle as Trojans got off to decent start leading at the half 21-17.  The 3rd quarter saw St. Eds take control and have the lead 31-30 heading in to the 4th quarter.  The game would end tied at the end of regulation and head in to overtime.

During the overtime period, St. Eds would build a 4 pt lead with about 30 seconds to play. Joey Davidson (16 pts, 5 rebs) would hit a crucial 3 pt basket to bring the team within 1.  A missed free throw by St Eds would give the Trojans the ball with a final possession.  A couple of fouls to take by St. Eds brought the game to a final possession with 5 seconds left. Senior Ben Lodewyk (10 pts, 7 Rebs, 4 assist) would hit a contested 15 ft shot at the elbow at the buzzer for the win. Ty Merrick had 7 rebounds and Jonny Strube had 10 pts as well.

Trojans win 2 this past week!

The Trojans had a very busy week this past week.  On Tuesday the Trojans traveled to nearby Westmont high school for a weeknight game.  The Trojans came out very flat in the first half and trailed the Sentinals 20-19 at half.  The 3rd quarter saw the Trojans take the lead but the 4th quarter belonged to Westmont and Timothy would head to overtime.  The first overtime was back and forth and the Trojans would fall behind by 4 pts.  The teams would trade possessions and at the buzzer of the first overtime Joey Davidson (17 pts, 5 rebs, 3 assists) would hit a 3 pter to send the game into the 2nd overtime.  During the 2nd overtime there would be exciting back and forth play as each team would take the lead.  Ultimately the Trojans would drop this contest 71-69.  Ben Lodewyk would finish with 23 pts, 6 assists, 6 steals, and Jonny Strube would contribute 16 pts and 5 rebs.  Josh Caver would chip in 5 pts and 5 rebs.

Friday night the Trojans continued conference play with a game at Guerin Prep.  The Trojans got off to a very good start both shooting the ball offensively and also on the defensive end.  The Trojans would lead at the end of the first quarter 20-5.  The 2nd and 3rd quarter would see Guerin close the distance but the Trojans would finish strong for a 46-27 victory.  Contributions from many on this night.  Leading scorer was Joey Davidson with 20 pts, 4 rebs and 2 assists.  Ben Lodewyk would finish in double figures with 10 pts and 3 rebs.  Mitch Evenhouse had a good floor game with 5 assists, 3 steals, 9 pts, and only 1 turnover. 

Saturday the Trojans traveled to Peoria Christian for a game and an overnight stay with the team.  A strong first half on both the offensive and defensive end put the Trojans ahead 31-19 at the half.  The Chargers would come storming back into the game and cut the lead to 1 pt with 9 seconds to play.  The Trojans missed a free throw opportunity and a long defended shot by Peoria Christian was off the mark at the buzzer giving the Trojans the 54-53 victory.  Strong games for everyone.  Good interior defense from Jared Rhiner and Josh Caver.  Double figure scoring from Joey Davidson (17), Ben Lodewyk (11), and Jonny Strube (10). Mitch Evenhouse chipped in with a good floor game to go with 8 pts as well.

Thank you to Mrs. Rhiner and all the parents for the organization and support for a fun weekend in Peoria.

The Trojans were very busy last week.  On Tuesday they hosted the Wheaton Academy Warriors.  the first half saw the game back and forth with the Trojans taking a 26-21 lead at the half.  During the second half, the Warriors began to take control and lead at the end of the 3rd quarter 36-34.  Final score of the game was 53-45 as the Trojans dropped a close contest.  Joey Davidson (14 pts, 4 rebounds) and Ben Lodewyk (12 pts, 7 rebs, 3 assists, 2 steals) led the Trojans.  Mitch Evenhouse also had a good game with 6 pts, 6 steals, 2 rebs, and 2 assists.

Friday night saw the Trojans host Illiana Christian.  Illina had beat the Trojans at their place quite handily the first time around.  On this night, the Trojans would come out with great energy in front of a packed house and it would be the Vikings who would struggle shooting from the field.  This game was a complete Team victory as each player contributed both on and off the floor.  Scoring honors would be shared by Ben Lodewyk (16 pts, 4 rebs, 2 assists,) and Jonny Strube (16 pts, 4 rebs, 2 assists, 1 steal).  Strube came off the bench to hit some crucial 3 pt shots.  He finished 5-7 on 3pters on the evening.  Joey Davidson contributed 11 pts, 5 rebs, 2 assists, and 2 steals.  Trayvon Williams had a strong game with 7 pts, 5 rebs, 2 steals, and 2 assists.  Josh Caver had a solid evening as well with 7 pts, 2 assists, 1 reb, and overall good net presence.  The game was led by the Trojans as they jumped out to a lead.  Illiana would tie the game at the buzzer or regulation on a 3 pt shot.  The Vikings took the lead into overtime with the first score. The Trojans would answer with a Strube 3 pt basket.  The Trojans would finish the night with a 57-52 victory.

On Saturday the Trojans traveled to Fulton Illinois to take part in the Eric Ottens Shootout.  The Trojans would play a pretty good Clinton Iowa team.  The legs and energy were not present on this night as the Trojans struggled both offensively and defensively and dropped a 57-36 decision.  Joey Davidson 11 pts and Mitch Evenhouse 10 pts would lead the Trojans in scoring.

The Trojans have another busy week as they play on the road Tuesday at Westmont (7:30 pm), and Friday at Guerin Prep (7:00 pm) and Saturday at Peoria Christian (6:30 pm).
