SUBIACO ACADEMY NEWS: Trojans win two, lose one.

On December 12, Subiaco hosted Booneville for their second game in split conference play. The Trojans started slow and came back to trail 13-12 after the first period. The second period saw the Trojans find their groove as they outscored the Bearcats 21-11 to take a 33-24 lead into the break. The Trojans did pull away in the fourth as they got to the rim and converted free throws to pull out a 68-42 win. James Taylor led the Trojans with 21 points to go with several assists and steals. John Capps, Elvis Janga, Devon Forst and Tom Myers all scored between 8-12 to give the Trojans a balanced attack. On December 14, the Trojans had a game that can’t be described as anything except unbelievable. The flat Trojans found themselves down to the hot Panthers 22-7 after one period. Despite the poor start, the Trojans had every chance to pull the game out of the fire in the last period. Unbelievable, simply because the Trojans shot a miserable 4 for 29 from the three point line, despite a total collapse, Subi found themselves down by three with the ball with a minute left. But, Subi did not make the plays late to pull out the game and had to suffer a 64-60 bitter loss. James Taylor led the Trojans with 31 in the disappointing effort. On December 16, the Trojans hosted the Paris Eagles for another conference game. A slow and methodical first half saw the Trojans take a 25-15 into the half. The third period saw the Trojans almost match their first half as they lit up the score board for 24 points to jump out to a 49-25 lead after three periods. Reserves for both teams saw lots of action in the fourth as the Trojans cruised toward Christmas break with a 63-31 win. The Trojans had a balance attack with six players scoring between 8-16, led by James Taylors 16 and Tyler Komp’s 13.
