Trojans boys bulldoze Big Reds; girls falter

The Trojan boys dominated the Big Reds 56-36 behind a 35-point night from Weaton, their leading scorer.

Fairfield's girls lost 47-36.

'We were down 6-0 early, and then stayed in a five- to nine-point game (plus the early six) the rest of the night,” Fairfield girls head coach Pat Pacha said. 'We cut it to five with the ball in the fourth, but shots didn't fall and Mathews was tough with 24 points.”

The girls deficit was 13-5 after a quarter, 19-14 at halftime and 29-21 after three quarters.

The Trojan boys led 11-10 after one quarter. It was tied at 13 and then an 18-0 run gave the Trojans a commanding 31-13 lead at halftime.
