Terrel Williams carries Trojans into the playoff!

They started sluggish and they started sloppy, with lots of turnovers and missed shots.


  It was Senior night and Coach Fisher was looking for an answer as the Trojans needed 1 win to make it to the post season.  He found the answer in Junior Terrel Williams!
Terrel Williams poured in 20 points off the bench to almost singlehandedly win the game, scoring almost 1/3 of the teams 62 points, scoring 8 in the final frame including a 3 pointer and a perfect 2 for 2 from the line!
The Trojans trailed most of the game but a Tim Mabry 3 pointer at the halftime buzzer kept it close at 31-27.





Terrel took over in the 4th quarter, both offensively and defensively, and the Trojans escaped with a 2 point win 62-60, giving the team it's first post season berth since 2009.






 "Its a special thing for the players to go through this experience. Its something they're always going to remember, especially qualifying on senior night." Said Coach Fisher.
The Trojans improve to 10-9 and finish the regular season at Silver lake on Thursday night.

Trojans fall to Durfee 75-63

The Trojans fell to Durfee, 75-63, on Monday night despite a monster game by Sr. Alex Rose. The Trojans matched the Hilltoppers basket for basket through the first half, thanks largely in part to 18 first half points by Alex Rose. The Hilltoppers extended their 1 point halftime lead to 5 after 3 quarters, and opened it up in the final frame thanks to 10 4th quarter points by Durfee's Chris Farrington who was a perfect 8 for 8 from the line. The Trojans were led by Alex (will you accept this) Rose's double double, as he had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Jaime Carey who had 16 points. The win clinches a playoff spot for Durfee as they improve to 10-7 on the season, and the loss drops the Trojans back to 9-9, still needing 1 win for that elusive playoff berth. Wednesday night is "Senior Night" and the Trojans host the Plymouth South Panthers. This will most likely be the last time the Seniors suit up at home, as most likely any playoff game will be on the road.

Trojans 1 win away!

The Trojans, trying to avenge a 65-60 loss from a few weeks back, hosted the 12-3 Barnstable Red Raiders on Friday night needing 2 wins to reach the magical 10 win mark to get into the State Tournament.  They now only need one!  The Trojans dominated every facet of the game from start to finish as they never trailed in this one.  The Red Raiders brought a better record and a bigger fan section to Bridgewater but ran into the Trojans "best" performance of the season, led by seniors Jaime Carey (17 points) Alex Rose (15 points), and Joe Freiday (13 points) including 2 gym rattling dunks.

Freiday's first slam came with 5:54 left in the first half as he took a perfect pass from Jaime Carey, took one dribble and slammed it home while getting pushed in the back as a Red Raider was called for the flagrant foul which awards 2 free throws and posession, which gave the Trojans a 32-16 lead.
The Trojans gleefully took a 39-33 halftime lead into the locker room. The Red Raiders came out firing in the 2nd half cutting the lead to 3.  A thunderous put back dunk by Freiday off of a Jack Connolly missed layup ignited the crowd and increased the Trojan lead to 7 and prompted another Barnstable timeout with 4:36 left in the 3rd.  The Trojans pulled away in the 4th quarter scoring 21 points, led by Alex Roses 9 points, and limited the Red Raiders to only two 4th quarter field goals, and the Trojans rolled on winning 74-60.
The Trojans improve to 9-8 and visit a tough Durfee team, who will be looking for revenge, on Monday night at 7:00.

Trojans jump back into the win column

The Trojans jumped back into the win column on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Falmouth High Clippers in a game that had the makings of a blowout.
The Trojans came flying out of the gates, scoring 26 first quarter points, to take a 19 point lead over the Clippers at 26-7. Just when it looked like the Trojans would roll on to win by 30, the Clippers said "not so fast" as they held the Trojans to only 8 second quarter points, cutting the lead to 12 thanks in part to two 3 pointers by Falmouth Senior Chase Soares. The Clippers would cut into the lead a little more in the 3rd and cut the lead to 8 in the 4th, but the Trojans proved to be too much and went on to win 55-46.
The Trojans were led by Sr. Captain Joe Freiday 12 pts and 15 rebounds, Jaime Carey 12 pts, and Andy Groh with 9 pts.
The Trojans improve to 8-8 and are only 2 wins away from making the postseason. The Trojans host Old Colony League rival Barnstable Friday night in hopes of avenging their January 17th 5 point loss.

Trojans stumble

The Trojans stumbled on Friday night to the Dartmouth Indians 68-56 breaking the Trojans 3 game win streak.
The Trojans only had 2 players in double figures with Junior Isiah Bell throwing in 11 points, and senior Alex Rose contributing with 10 points. The Indians were led by Nick Simoneti's 26 points.
The Trojans fall to 7-8 on the season and travel to Falmouth on Sunday afternoon to face the Clippers as they need 3 more wins to capture a spot in the MIAA State Tournament.
#ProjectPurple
Both teams wore Project Purple T shirts in support of former NBA star Chris Herren's initiative that assists families to fight drug addiction.


 
Go Project Purple was launched to break the stigma of addiction, bring awareness to the dangers of substance abuse and shed light on effective treatment practices.
The Go Project Purple concept was developed when Chris spoke at a local high school in 2011 and the front row of students were wearing Purple shirts. After Chris shared his story, one of the purple shirts raised her hand and stood up to speak. As snickering and laughter could be heard throughout the auditorium, the student said “Thank you Mr. Herren for validating what we do. We are the sober students of this high school and each year we take a pledge to not use drugs or alcohol.” Chris was captured by the courage it took to not only stand up and share the symbolism of the purple shirts, but was inspired to make a difference amongst adolescents across the United States.
