Lady Trojans Head Coach Bob Curtis reports, “I really like how we have been playing here in February. The bench is playing better all the time giving us good minutes to stay fresh and the starting five has really found their identity offensively and defensively. I feel like we are playing with a lot of confidence right now and understand what we have to do to win. Sarah Angel turned in another big game with a game high 20, she has really been playing will after Christmas and Alexis Welch recorded her 1,000th point of her career in the 2nd quarter against the dragons. On a backdoor lob to her for a lay-up she completed the task and we called timeout and the celebration was on as she hugged her family. It was a very special moment. Alexis has had a fantastic career with 5 tournament championships, 4 district championships, 2 final four appearances all in that span, 1st Team All-Conference and All District player in her career. She hopes her senior season will end with another deep run in the playoffs.”

Community boys topped Prairie Home 75-68 on Monday night.

Leading scorers for Trojans in the win:

• Chase Dobbins – 18 pts
• Gavin Allen – 16 pts
• Mason Carroll – 16 pts
• Kaden Brooks – 13 pts
• Eli Johnson – 6 pts
• Logan Johnson – 6 pts

Coach Tad Shotten comments, “Good win for us, thought we did some really nice things. We are growing and still learning how to be consistent and win ball games. Prairie Home did some really nice things as well. Chase and Kaden had strong games for us and I am proud of them both. Logan and Chase played solid minutes for us off the bench tonight and did their job when called upon, we didn’t have Tucker Robnett tonight who has started every game for us but 1 when has been available, he’s dealing with an injury so it was important for our bench to step up and play solid with us being down a player.”
