TROJANS 3 LEFT DEFLATED AT NUNEATON 1!

March 1, 2022

A FIGHTING 22 POINTS FROM VETERAN COACH TREVOR ROBINSON WAS NOT QUITE ENOUGH TO STEAL THE POINTS FROM NUNEATON PREDATORS 1 WHO WON A DRAB DIVISION TWO FIXTURE 55-49 AT GEORGE ELLIOTT SCHOOL.

TROJANS 3 MOVED IN FITS AND STARTS AS DID THE GAME WITH THE HOME SIDE TAKING THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS TO LOOK WELL ON THE WAY TO VICTORY AT 50-38, BUT THE OPENING MINUTES OF THE FINAL PERIOD WENT THE WAY OF TROJANS AS THEIR DEFENSIVE PLAY STOPPED PREDATORS IN THEIR TRACKS AND THEY CAME BACK TO TRAIL BY JUST ONE.

BUT JUST WHEN THINGS WERE GETTING INTERESTING THEIR OFFENSIVE SIDE DRIED UP AND IT WAS NUNEATON WHO BANKED THE LAST FOUR POINTS TO TAKE VICTORY.

AMAZINGLY THE HOME SIDE DID NOT LAND A SINGLE FIELD BASKET DURING THE ULTIMATE TEN MINUTES AS TROJANS TOOK THE QUARTER 11-5 WITH ALL THE HOME SIDE’S POINTS COMING FROM THE LINE.

SCORERS: ROBINSON 22, NOVELSKAS 10, DICKSON 6, MAXWELL 5, COOMBES 4, SANCHEZ 2.
