Tuesday Results

The boys basketball team has saved its best for last. The Trojans made it 3 in a row with a 47-43 win over Hall at home, lifting them to 8-8 on the season and locking up a spot in the state tournament. It was not easy though as Simsbury trailed by 13 in the early going and 27-17 at the half. But a strong defensive effort held Hall to just 16 2nd half points and only 2 field goals. Karon Beckford led the way for the Trojans with 18 points including a 3 point play with less than a minute to go to give them a lead they would not relinquish. Jeff Smith also had a good game including setting up Beckford for the go ahead basket on a pick and roll play.

The girls (5-13) did not fare as well as they lost to hall 66-39. The game was close in the first half as Simsbury trailed by just 2 late in the 2nd quarter.  High scorer was Lauren Stumper with 15 points.

Monday Results

The girls hockey team (12-2-2) gained a measure of revenge against Hamden 4-2 at home. Sam Arnold and Jess Werle each had 2 goals and an assist in the win over the Green Dragons who handed the Trojans just their 2nd loss of the season last month.  

The wrestling team (17-10) bounced back after dropping 2 of 3 at a quad meet over the weekend by handling Hall 42-15.
