Trojans sail past Eagles in Missoula
VICTOR – A quartet of double-digit scorers helped the Drummond Trojans defeat Valley Christian on the road Tuesday night 69-51.
Drummond (8-0 in D13C) continued to roll as they beat Valley Christian for the second time this year. The Trojans established a 36-19 lead at halftime and would need it, as the host Eagles got hot in the second half and outscored the visitors 38-33 over the final 16 minutes.
The game was really decided in the paint, where the Trojans held a 36-21 margin in rebounding that included 17 on offense. Trey Phillips the way with 11 caroms, with Ben Brad Bradshaw adding nine and Scott Parke eight.
Phillips completed a double-double on the night, tying teammate Colt Parsons for high scoring honors with 17. Brody Rasor (14) and Bradshaw (11) also got into double-figure scoring.
“Great night for us (with) balanced scoring,” said DHS Head Coach Levi Parsons, “and really rebounded the ball well.”
Drummond moves on to Darby Saturday to take on the Tigers in an afternoon affair.
