The Trojans competed at the IC Catholic Prep Regional for the IHSA 2A State tournament. They opened the regional play vs Westmont. The Trojans were attempting to beat a Westmont team for a 3rd time this season. This game was a tough affair and Westmont took a 20-15 halftime lead. The 3rd quarter saw the Trojans come out and play inspired basketball outscoring the Sentinals 16-7 for a 31-27 lead. The Trojans were able to come out with a 39-33 victory and advance to play in the Regional Championship game. The Trojans were led by Brandon Orange (14 pts, 6 rebounds), Joey Davidson (12 pts, 3 rebs) and Jonny Strube (10 rebs, 7 pts). Ty Merrick distributed 5 assists on the evening.
The Trojans then played IC Catholic Prep in the Regional Championship on Friday night. The atmosphere was electric and perfect for a neighborhood championship game. The game would feature 24 lead changes. The final tally had the Trojans on the short end of a 53-52 score. Brandon Orange (17 pts, 7 rebs), Jonny Strube (11 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assists, and 2 blocks), and Joey Davidson (9 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assists), and Ty Merrick (7 pts, 5 rebs, 2 steals, and 3 assists) all had strong games as well as Jimmy Allen with stellar defense on the night.
The Trojans finished the season 17-11 and 8-4 in conference play for a 2nd place finish in the Metro Suburban Red Division. The seniors are to be commended for such an important role in our program and will be missed. Thank you for all the support this season and good things are ahead for the Trojan program in the future.
