The Trojans picked up two nice wins this week before bowing out of the tournament
The Trojans picked up two nice wins this week before bowing out of the tournament
The Fruitport girls are doing exactly what the boys team did last week - shrugging off a bad regular season and winning some tournament games
The Trojans, who were 5-1 earlier this season before struggling in O-K Blue play, used a strong second half to beat the Cardinals 39-23
The captains have tried to keep their teammates in a positive frame of mind, despite losing a lot of conference games over the past few months
The Trojans stunned everyone by taking a 12-4 lead after one quarter, but had trouble hitting their shots the rest of the game
The Trojans will begin Division 2 district tournament play on Monday with a game against Orchard View
The Trojans beat Oakridge 53-49 and will meet archrival Spring Lake in Friday's Division 2 district championship game
Orchard View forced overtime by hitting a buzzer-beating triple at the end of regulation, but the Trojans stood tall in overtime
