THANKSGIVING TRIPLE AS 3 BLOW AWAY TORNADOES

November 25, 2022

TROJANS NOTCHED UP A TRIO OF VICTORIES THIS (USA) THANKSGIVING WEEK FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS SEASON AS THE THIRD TEAM TOOK APART COVENTRY TORNADOES 3 61-21 AT HEREWARD COLLEGE TO FOLLOW UP ON THOSE SUCCESSES ACHIEVED BY THEIR FIRST AND SECOND STRING SIDES.

AND IT WAS LARGELY DOWN TO THEIR DEFENSIVE PLAY WHICH STOPPED THE VISITING SIDE FROM SCORING AND REBOUNDING, WHILE VETERAN TREVOR ROBINSON SPARKLED WITH A 21 POINT HAUL, MOST OF WHICH CAME IN THE FIRST HALF – AND HE LED THE HOME SIDE’S FAST BREAK SEVERAL TIMES TOO INTO THE BARGAIN!

COSTA MIRCEA AND DAVIDE NICOLINI WERE STRONG UNDER THE BOARDS TO RESTRICT TORNADOES 6’11” PAUL ADAMS AS TROJANS HURRIED INTO A 24-10 LEAD, BUT THEIR MOST DEVASTATING SPELL CAME EITHER SIDE OF HALF-TIME WHEN THEY WENT FROM 26-16 TO 53-17 AS TORNADOES SIMPLY BLOWN AWAY AND REDUCED TO A LIGHT BREEZE.

THE THIRD QUARTER SAW A 15-1 SCORELINE AND THE VISITORS HIT FOUL TROUBLE EARLY IN THE FOURTH SENDING THEIR HOSTS TO THE LINE NUMEROUS TIMES AS THE CLOCK TICKED AWAY FOR THREE’S BEST RESULT FOR A WHILE.
