TC Boy’s earn back to back conference wins for the weekend.

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.

Trojans lose a close contest to Chicago Christian

The Trojans lost a closely fought contest on Friday night to Chicago Christian by a score of 54-51.  The game was close throughout as each team traded slight leads.  The final quarter saw the Trojans clinging to a small lead only to come up empty on 3 straight possessions opening the window for the Knights.  The Trojans struggled finishing tonight and also struggled from the free throw line.  We will get better in both areas.

Jonny Strube (9 pts, 6 Rebs, 2 assists), Joey Davidson (17 pts, 2 Rebs, 1 assist), Brandon Orange (12 pts, 6 Rebs, 2 assists), Ty Merrick (5pts, 6 assists, 3 Rebs), and Jimmy Allen (7 pts, 4 Rebs), led a balanced attack for the Trojans.
