Trojans end season in Regional Championship loss
Friday night saw the Trojans come up on the short end of a 49-40 score vs. Providence St. Mel. It was a re-match between two teams who had played each other last year in a sectional final won by the Trojans. St. Mel had beaten the Trojans earlier this season in a double overtime thriller at the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament. The championship game did not disappoint in the excitement category. St. Mel got out to a 10-2 lead before the Trojans settled down and closed the gap at the quarter to be trailing 10-9. The second quarter saw back and forth momentum plays and at the half, the Trojans were leading 21-20. The 3rd quarter was a stumbling block as the Trojans could not find the shooting touch and trailed at the end of the 3rd 34-27. During the 4th quarter, the Trojans got down by as much as 9 pts and fought their way back to close the gap to 3. The Trojans could not get any closer and needed to foul down the stretch. St. Mel was able to hit enough free throws to secure the victory 49-40.
Mike Pizzello played an exceptional game in all areas. He played solid defense on St. Mel's big man and also scored 18 pts, 10 rebs, 3 stls, and 1 assist. Chad Vos showed his usual solid defense as well and also finished with 2 pts, 3 rebs, 2 stls, 1 assist. Chris Ridolphi (7 pts, 7 rebs), Mark Penczak (8 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assists), Danny Leach (3 pts, 4 rebs, 1 stl), Matt Robinson (2 pts, 1 assist), Nate Ziegler (1 reb), and Nathan Boot (3 rebs) all cracked the stat sheet. The Trojans struggled shooting on this night and shot just 30% from the field.
The loss was a very disappointing way to end the season but Coach LeGrand and Coach Huizinga would like to thank the guys for an exciting season. The Trojans finished with a record of 17-10 and 7-5 on the season. They finished in 2nd place in the Metro-Suburban conference where they were picked in the pre-season to finish no better than 5th. A special thank you to all of our seniors: Nathan Boot, Troy Ellens, Jon Penczak, Mark Penczak, Mike Pizzello, Chad Vos, and Nathan Ziegler. You did an excellent job making major contributions to the Trojan program and you will be missed.
Congratulations to Troy Ellens and Mark Penczak who did advance in the 3 pt shooting contest. They will shoot at Sectionals on Wednesday at Aurora Christian. If they advance Wednesday they will shoot on Friday for the chance to compete at state in Peoria. Good luck gentlemen.
Congratulations also to Mike Pizzello and Mark Penczak who were selected to the Metro Suburban All-Conference team.
Thank you to all the fans who were so supportive this season. Your support was greatly appreciated.
