The action on the court suggested the gap between the two teams was a little larger.
Trenton had nothing to offer against the Blue Jays, who took command early and dominated throughout the night, romping to an 83-25 victory.
West Platte shell-shocked Trenton early, racing out to a 26-2 lead in the opening eight minutes. The Bulldogs were able to increase their offensive output in the second, but the gap continued to grow and Trenton went into the locker room trailing 52-13.
The Blue Jays had no interest in killing the engine in the third quarter, adding 29 points to their total, putting Trenton in an 81-19 hole. In the fourth, West Platte eased to the finish, adding just two more points to their total.
Tucker Otto paced Trenton with six points and Brycin Loyd and Gavin Roeder each added five. Dylan Spencer and Preston Harris each scored three points, Chase Otto had two and Kayden Spencer scored one to round out the Bulldogs’ total.
With the loss, Trenton fell to 2-8 overall on the year.
