Jaime Careys 33 points leads Trojans over Durfee
Mark your calendars boys and girls... February 11, 2014....
The Trojans, led by Jaime Carey's season high 33 points (including 15 for 19 from the line), upset the Durfee High Hilltoppers 82-75 in a very exciting battle on Tuesday night.
The Trojans jumped out to an early lead, outscoring the Hilltoppers 13-8 in the 1st and led at the half 39-32 despite a huge 2nd quarter by Durfee's Tyree Robinson, who scored 14 of his game high 37 points in the frame. The 3rd quarter was a foulfest as both teams were in the bonus entering the 4th quarter as the ref's tried to take control of the game. A Tyree Robinson alley oop cut the Trojan lead to 8 but an Alex Rose layup, foul, and made free throw extended the Trojan lead back to 11. In the 4th quarter a Durfee 3 pointer would tie the game at 72 with 2:32 in the game, but Jaime Carey and the Trojans pulled away and held on for the 82-75 win!
Jaime Carey was clutch as he poured in 33 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Alex Rose had 18 points and 8 rebounds, and Joe Freiday had 9 points and 12 rebounds. The Trojans made 33 points from the line and outrebounded Durfee 53-33. The Trojans improve to 7-7 on the season.
The highly anticipated rematch will take place February 11, 2014 at 7:00 at Durfee High.

Alex Rose leads Trojans to victory over Panthers
The Trojans eeked closer to the .500 mark (6-7) and are now only 4 wins away from the elusive 10 win plateua that would allow the Trojans to enter the post season, where they haven't been since 2009, as they traveled to Beverly High to take on the Panthers Sunday afternoon.
The Trojans jumped out to an early lead thanks in part by Jaime Carey's 8 first half points as well as the hustling Nick Demos' 7 first half points, to take a comfortable 15 point lead into the locker room at 37-22. The Panthers said "not so fast" as Beverly's Jon Berchoff poured in 8, of his game high 32 points, to cut the Trojan lead to 7 with 2:04 left in the 3rd. That was the closest the Panthers would get as the Trojans, led by Alex Rose's 10 4th quarter points, finished strong and hung on for a 75-66 Win.
Alex Rose led the way for the Trojans with 21 points , Jaime Carey had 16 points, and Nick Demos hustled in 11 points.
On the good news front, we went from a national rank of 11,591 at the start of the season to 7,034 according to MaxPreps.
The Trojans hope to keep their momentum rolling, as they host the Durfee High Hilltoppers Tuesday at 6:30.

The Trojans jumped back into the win column, improving to 5-7 on the season, as they defeated a young Plymouth North team for the 2nd time this season, 70-64 on Friday night.

The Blue Eagles came soaring back in the 2nd, outscoring the sluggish Trojans 16-11 to take a 2 point halftime lead into the locker room. It was more of the same through 3 quarters as Plymouth North Sophomore Austin Ward scored 12 of his game high 25 points in the frame as the Blue Eagles extended their lead to 4 points at the end of 3.
Ding Ding.... Enter the Bell brothers... Junior Isiah Bell and his older brother, Captain Rashad Bell, took over the game, pouring in a combined 16 points, including a few timely steals and multiple rebounds.

Isiah scored 10 of his 12 points in the 4th quarter including 4 for 4 from the line and 3 steals, and the Trojans held on for the win. Senior Jaime Carey led the scoring for the Trojans with 16 points, Senior Alex Rose and Junior Isiah Bell had 12 points each. The Trojans travel to Beverly HS on Sunday to face off against the Panthers at 3:00

Red Raiders edge out Trojans
It was an exciting game at a packed gym in Barnstable on Friday night, but the Trojans lost their 4th game in a row on as their OCL rival Barrnstable Red Raiders edged out the W by a score of 65-60.
Despite being out rebounded 35-27 and only shooting 32% from the field, the Trojans were in this game right down to the wire. The Red Raiders jumped out to an early lead outscoring the Trojans 23-15 in the first quarter, despite 3 pointers from Senior Captain Rashad Bell, Junior Jack Connolly, and Senior Jaime Carey. The Red Raiders retained the 8 point lead at the half, thanks in part to Barnstable's Elijah Baptiste's 11 first half points. The Trojans re-gropuped at the half, matching the Red Raiders bucket for bucket in the 3rd, and outscored the red Raiders in the 4th quarter, but it wasn't enough.
Sr. Jaime Carey led the way for the Trojans with 16 points, including 7 for 8 from the line, Sr. Captain Joe Freiday had 12 points and Sr. Alex Rose had 11 points.
The Trojans fall to 4-7 on the season (0-2 in the OCL). The Trojans hope to return to their winning ways as they host Durfee on Tuesday.

Trojans Fall to Quincy
The Trojans dropped a heartbreaker to the Quincy Presidents Wednesday night, 69-66, despite the strong play by Alex Rose. In the teams first meeting on December 13 (opening night) the Presidents blew out the Trojans by 19 points. This time around it was a much closer contest.
The Presidents jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter outscoring the Trojans 21-11, led by Junior Captain JT Bain's 8 first quarter points, as this game had the early makings of another blowout.
The Trojans stormed back in the 2nd quarter to cut the deficit to 4 at the half, thanks in part to 3 pointers by Junior Jack Connolly, Sophomore Terrel Williams and Senior Jaime Carey. The Presidents came out to the break firing as Senior Guard Brendan Cunningham poured in 8 of his game high 20 points in the 3rd, and the Presidents had a comfy 8 point lead heading into the 4th quarter. The Trojans fought back in the 4th as Senior Captain Joe Freiday scored 9 of his 11 points in the frame to keep it close, but it wasn't enough as a few failed 3 point attempts by the Trojans in the final seconds fell short, and the Presidents held on for the 69-66 win. Senior Alex Rose led the scoring for the Trojans, pouring in 17 points (off the bench), Jaime Carey had 12 points, Joe Freiday had 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Andy Groh had 8 points and 6 rebounds. The 4-6 Trojans will face off against the Barnstable Red Raiders on Friday night at Barnstable High School.

Trojans fall to Panthers...... Again....
The Trojans were out gunned on Monday night 84-70, falling to 4-5 on the season, by the Whitman Hanson Panthers who were led by their Senior Captain Brian Feeney, who scored 21 points, including a perfect 11 for 11 from the line!
The Trojans stumbled a little out of the gate being outscored by the Panthers 19-12 in the first quarter and 23-15 in the second to trail by 15 at the half as the Panthers 3 point shot was spot on as they nailed eight 3 pointers in the half (Senior Guard Shane Devlin had 4 of them) and they also made 8 of 10 from the free throw line. The Trojans came firing back in the 3rd cutting the lead to 9, thanks to key 3 pointers from Sophomore Mike Manning and Senior Captain Rashad Bell. The 4th quarter was not so friendly to the Trojans as the Panthers scored 29 points without making a 2 point field goal, as they made four 3 pointers and 17 free throws!!!
Senior Captain Joe Freiday led the way for the Trojans with 15 points (including the dunk above) and 10 rebounds, Senior Captain Rashad Bell had 12 points, Seniors Alex Rose and Jaime Carey pitched in with 8 points each!
While this was a tough loss, it certainly wasn't due to a lack of effort as the Trojans fought hard throughout the game. Coach Fisher on the loss: "Our kids hung in there tonight and made a game of it until the end. I am proud of the way the kids battled back"
It's an uphill battle all week as the Trojans travel to Quincy for a rematch with the Presidents, then off to Barnstable on Friday.

Dartmouth Downs BR
The Trojans visited the Dartmouth Indians on Friday night with hopes of winning their first league game of the season. Those hopes were dashed as the Indians defeated the Trojans 63-56 with a very strong 2nd half performance and gnat like defense.

The indians came storming out of the locker room, outscoring the Trojans by 13 points in the 3rd quarter, to take a 45-38 lead. That lead proved to be too much and the Indians held on for the 63-56 victory.

Trojans Down Blue Eagles.
The Trojans visited the beautiful, and new, Plymouth North HS to face the Blue Eagles on Tuesday night, and came out with a 68-58 win to sport an unfamiliar record.... a winning one! The now 4 and 3 Trojans (that's 4 wins and 3 losses) haven't been on the plus side of a winning record in a long time!
The Blue Eagles jumped out to a first quarter lead outscoring the Trojans 21-18 to take the early lead, but that lead proved to be short lived as the Trojans accumulated most of their points from the bench, as Senior Alex Rose and Junior Nick Demos led all Trojans with 8 first half points each, and the Trojans took a 10 point lead into the locker room 39-29. The Trojans kept the pressure on the Blue Eagles, increasing the lead to 16 points after 3, to take a comfortable lead after 3, 58-42. The Never say die Blue Eagles said "not so fast" as they whittled the lead down to 8 in the 4th, but it was too little too late, and the Trojans hung on for the 68-58 win!
Once again Senior Jaime Carey led all scoring with 17 points and 8 rebounds (including a perfect 6 for 6 from the line). The biggest punch from the Trojans came off the bench as Senior Alex Rose (13 points and 6 rebounds) and Nick Demos (12 points) continued their stellar play! Senior Captain Joe Freiday finished with 10 points and 6 rebounds, and Isiah Bell pitched in with 9 points!
The Trojans travel to Dartmouth HS on Friday night to face off against the 3-2 Indians for their first Old Colony League action.
