Sports Update: Trojan boys defeat Mission by 20

The Troy High School boys basketball game put together a complete performance in a 53-33 victory over Mission on Friday night.

The Trojans found success on both offense and defense, weathered a dry spell in the third quarter and had answers for all Bulldog threats. Troy got out to a 28-15 lead in the first half behind the strength of five 3-pointers. In the second half, Brian Hammrich had the hot hand.

Hammrich finished with 18 points to lead THS offensively. Jake Alexander and Trent Cratty each added nine.

Troy (5-3, 8-7) plays on Saturday at Bigfork – an opponent that has already clinched the regular-season District 7B crown.
