A Games
The girls’ A team moved to 9-0 with yet another impressive victory. Trenton ran out to a 12-0 first quarter lead and never looked back, controlling the tempo of the game from start to finish.
“We were very good in our half-court defense in the first quarter,” Coach Ched Hurley said. “We did not press as well in the second quarter and got into a little foul trouble, but still outscored (South Harrison). We really played good half court defense. Our girls were talking and really pressured and that was the biggest difference.”
Trenton’s defense had 11 steals, 13 deflections, 17 rebounds and three blocked shots. Offensively the Lady Bulldogs shot 45 percent, had 11 assists and 13 offensive rebounds. Trenton only turned the ball over 13 times in the game.
The Trenton boys suffered a 25-point loss to the visitors in the final game of the night.
Jadan Whitney led all scorers with 15 points and Isaac Harris, Matthew Sibbit and Dalton Burchett all had 2 points each.
With the loss, the boys’ A team fell to 4-5 overall on the season.
B Games
The Trenton B teams split with South Harrison as well with the girls picking up their sixth win of the year. The Lady Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead and controlled both ends of the floor throughout the night, winning by 21 points in the end.
