The Trojans shot 50% from the field on this evening.

On Saturday night, the Trojans played a non-conference game at Walther Lutheran. The Broncos got off to a 7-0 start and the Trojans played catch up all evening. The Trojans were able to close the contest within 6 at 36-30 with 3:30 to go in the 3rd. From that point on, Walther was able to take control and win the game 60-40.

Tyler VanderBrug hits buzzer beater for win vs Holland Christian !!!!

For the past 3 years every time the Trojans have been scheduled to play the Holland Christian Maroons from Michigan there has been a snow storm. The snow came down hard on Friday to cancel Friday night's game with Fenton but the roads were clear for Holland to travel for Saturday night's contest at Timothy Christian.

The gymnasium was packed and the electric atmosphere helped the Trojans get off to a very strong start jumping out to a 12-0 lead. The Trojans were able to control the first quarter and at the end of the 1st quarter led 16-3. The 2nd quarter saw Holland Christian settle down and take control and outscore the Trojans 17-5. Timothy held a slight one point lead at halftime 21-20. The 3rd quarter was played evenly with each team scoring and defending to knot the score 31-31 going into the 4th quarter. Holland Christian was able to take and increase their lead to 9. They held a 7 point lead with 2 minutes left in the game. The Trojans were able to keep fighting defensively and with some missed free throws from Holland and some key baskets by the Trojans, the Trojans were able to close the gap. After a missed Holland Christian free throw, the Trojans had possession of the ball with 10 seconds to go down 40-42. The Trojans ran a set play and after Holland defended the initial option, Danny Leach was able to find Tyler VanderBrug who eyed up and shot a 3 pt shot which hit the rim and bounced in at the buzzer for a 43-42 victory. This sent the RED ZONE crowd into a frenzy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF_2YThNiV4

The Trojans were led on this night by Connor VanderBrug with a career high in points with 17 to go along with 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 stl and 1 block, Danny Leach (13 pts, 7 rebs, 5 assists,1 stl), and Tyler VanderBrug (7 pts, 6 rebs, 5 stls, 2 assists). Matt Morrison (2 pts, 2 rebs, 1 stl), Chris Ridolphi (2 pts, 5 rebs, 1 assist), Aaron Snoeyink (1 reb, 1 stl, 1 assist),Luke Davidson (2 pts, 1 reb), Drew Miller (1 assist), Matt Robinson (2 rebs, 1 assist), Brennen Lindsey (2 rebs) all dented the stat sheet.

The Trojans would like to say THANK YOU to all the fans and the entire RED ZONE as the atmosphere in the gym was incredible. The Trojans move to 10-8 on the season. This week will see the Trojans play 3 road games. Tuesday night at Aurora Christian at 7:30 pm, Thursday at Fenton with game time at 7:00 pm, and Saturday night at Walther Lutheran with game time at 7:30 pm. Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans.
