Swordsmen travel to Laconia

Last Thursday the TCS Swordsmen traveled to Laconia

to play the LCS Crusaders.

 For the girls it was a scheduled JV game.  Nine of the girls suited up for the game, while their 11th and 12th grade teammates encouraged and cheered from the bench. All nine girls were able to play, with each one scoring at least one basket. 

Trinity won the game 36-20.

Comments from the bench... 

 "They kept the game under control well, for not having a chance to play together much."---Carrie #15

 "They played as a team even though they didn't have many chances to practice as a team."   ---Kara #20

"They seemed nervous in the first half, then came together as a team to make the plays to win the game."   ---Lindsey #22

 "I thought they adapted to their positions well" ---Jules #21

" Towards the end of the game they were seeing the court, and open teammates for passing."

      ---Sparky #23                     

 The Varsity boys won their game as well, 47-30.

   

 The whole team got to play, with the bench getting quite a bit of playing time. It was good to see them come together as a team, helping each other get better in their positions.

 

"The bench earned their minutes. There was sloppy play on both sides, but they got to make their mistakes and learn from them. We will work hard at  practice to get ready for next weeks games! ---Coach VanDyne

TCS vs SMCA Basketball

Tuesday the Swordsmen varsity girls and boys basketball teams

 hosted SMCA at New England College. 

The girls played well but SMCA
 took the victory with a 38-33
 win over The lady Swordsmen.


 

The girls are seeing each others 

strengths and coming together to 

make up for weak areas.

Though some were struggling physically, 

others hustled to make up for it. 

I can't wait to see SMCA in 2 weeks!

                                       --Coach Shaw

With exciting team play in the third quarter 

the boys took the lead, but couldn't hold it.

SMCA won the game 67-53.

We played a good 3rd quarter. Our 4th quarter gave us an education in what we need to work on to get ready for tournament. --Coach VanDyne

Thank you to all who come out to watch the games 

and cheer for our athletes!

 

First wins of the new year!

Congratulations to both varsity basketball teams,

with wins against Victory!

With six players contributing to the offense, and good team defense the Lady Swordsmen came out on top, 26-22 over Victory.

 


With the 57-26 win against Victory, the boys improve to 4-0 on the season!

"proud of the girls effort, they are beginning to work as a team." --Coach Shaw

"The girls played aggressive and didn't give up." --Coach Smith

The guys played as a team and everyone saw playing time. Great job guys --keep it up!
