It's Trojan Time

OK this was going to be a look at the boys basketball games from the BVC and area coming up this weekend.
But someone forgot to put the weekend schedule on the Internet on TheCourier.com today. My bad.
So we will move on to other topics.
First, how ‘bout that Findlay High School boys basketball team. The Trojans are sitting at 4-0 right now and 2-0 in the GBC.
They survived a tough road test against a 1-4 Marion Harding team last night. They are at home against Napoleon and on the road at Defiance the next two Friday nights.
Who’s going to beat them? The GBC hasn’t been particularly impressive so far this year. Lima Senior is like 3-1 but they lost their opener to Ottawa-Glandorf. Not that Ottawa-Glandorf is a bad basketball team but it’s certainly not the OG team of just a few seasons ago.
The Trojans first real test might not be until Jan. 16 when they travel to Toledo Scott for a Tuesday night game. But that said, they aren’t blowing people away and I’m not ready put them in the AP top 10 just yet. But FHS is a pretty good basketball team.
On to the girls…
Two teams are still unbeaten in the BVC.
Pandora-Gilboa is 3-0 and Arcadia is 2-0. Leipsic, Liberty-Benton and Van Buren each have 1 loss. I’m not sure the Rockets or Redskins run the table. All five of those schools have a legitimate shot at the title and I could see Arlington playing the role of spoiler as Coach Rogers’ young team continues to develop. But there’s still a lot of basketball left to play and things should heat up after the holidays.

    I hope the Trojan BB team does better then the footbal team that. They were a HUGE let down this year.
