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.
