score of 63-58. Even with<br />
a lead at halftime and the<br />

for the players. Despite<br />
their youth, the Trojans<br />
have their sights set on<br />
a competitive district<br />
and regular season. The<br />
team would like to thank<br />
the people who have<br />
been coming out and<br />
supporting them at all<br />
the games this season.<br />
The season rolls on with<br />
Loretto coming to town<br />
on December 6 th and a<br />
visit to Perry <strong>County</strong><br />
on December 9 th . Go<br />
