Lady Trojans Win!!!
After a tough 43-44 lose to Murphysboro on Friday, your Lady Trojans take down Christopher tonight 48-46 in a thriller! JV played a close game but lost 13-19 tonight.
It was an overall great effort by your Lady Trojans tonight as they held on to a 2 point victory to improve to 6-3. The girls coming off the bench played a huge role in the win, as they did a great job when the Lady Trojans starters were in foul trouble. It was a true team effort across the board!
Edyn Knight had a huge game, racking up 29 points. Chloe King had an all around great game as well racking up stats anywhere she could with 9 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 steals. Maia Schultz brought in 7 points and 8 rebounds.
