TRC Academy Handles Hamden Hall 62-42
We played against a team from Canada that has three Division One Commits (6’11 center to Cincinnati, 6’9 to Utah and 6’5 to North Dakota).
It was a game where the difference in the skill level the Post Graduates had was obvious, but the Young Hornets didn’t have to hang their heads low. They didn’t shy away. They fought hard and their opponent knew that Hamden Hall wouldn’t quit from the first minute of play.
The Hornets played a 2-1-2 zone in an effort to negate the height advantage TRC had. This proved effective as the defense kept the game close for a while.
The first period ended with the score 15 -12 TRC. In the second period they extended their lead to a 32-21 half time advantage.
As their inside game and the control of the backboards were evident the game was slipping away from the boys from Connecticut.
The opening of the third period saw Hamden Hall score two quick baskets to make the score 32 to 26 and that is the closest they got for the game.
At the end of the third period the score was 45 to 32, TRC.
In the final period of play TRC extended their lead to a 26 point deficit with 4 minutes left in the contest. It was an opportunity get “minutes” for the bench and they responded with hustle and desire and the entire coaching staff were very proud of them as they battled against a taller and more skilled opponent.
As a Bonus, the Tournament Committee named 6’1 Senior Co-Captain T.J. Rountree to the All-Tournament team. A well deserved Honor.

Record
5-4-(2-2)
The opportunity to play in the Kreul, a National Showcase, and work towards improving one’s skill set was great. The entire trip to Florida created memories that will last a life time.
The Day at the Beach, The Cookout at Boca Rio (I know Melvin and Pasquale won’t forget it) the Italian restaurant where the desserts and the Pasta were special. The 80 degree weather and even placing third in our bracket leaves a stamp on one’s memory.
Next up this Thursday away at St. Thomas More.
