The Trojans trailed 23-14 at half, and pulled together a big 4th quarter to tie the game with 12 seconds left on 2 Ryan Marsh free throws before coming just 2 points short. Bobby Beier led the Trojans in scoring with 15 points followed by Jacob Schletzbaum with 11.

The Trojan girls held a 10 point lead at half before a big third quarter put Central Decatur up for good to pull out a 46-39 victory Tuesday night.
