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.
