The Trinity Christian Eagles boys basketball team hosted Midland Classical and Trinity School of Midland on consecutive weekend days – Friday and Saturday, Jan. 17 and 18, respectively.
In the end, TCA remained unblemished within the early portion of their TAPPS District 1-4A schedule, cruising to two double-digit victories. The Eagles took down Midland Classical 63-51 Friday night before trouncing Trinity School of Midland 69-21 on Saturday.
"This group of seniors has been the most focused team I've coached in my 16 years as a varsity head coach,” Eagles head basketball coach Jeff Peterson said. “It seems like each game one or two of them are stepping up to help our team take care of business. Their commitment to our game plan on both ends has been a huge part of our success this season."
Peterson noted the significant impact of two of his seniors, Sam Carson and John Crane, in Friday night’s contest as the two combined for 31 of the team’s 63 points along with 11 rebounds and four steals for Chrane, along with four assists and a pair of steals for Carson.
Additionally, TCA outscored Midland Classical – who was 2-0 in district play entering this game – in all but one quarter as Midland Classical outscored TCA 16-15 in the third quarter.
In Friday’s win, Carson scored a team-high 16 points while Chrane and Cole Massey scored 15 points apiece. Jonathan Overholt and Reed Robbins chipped in with eight and seven points, respectively.
On Saturday, the Eagles were in even more dominant form against a Midland Trinity school who was coming into the contest with an 0-2 mark in district play. The Eagles emerged with a 69-21 win – a 48-point victory that resulted in single-digit scoring outputs from the opposition, which included zero in the third quarter.
Robbins led all scorers with 20 points while Scott Wesley-Smith had 13. The Eagles (22-2, 3-0) were playing at Lake Country Christian at press time. They travel to Lubbock Christian Saturday, Jan. 25, at 2 p.m.
