Twin City Christmas Invitational

The Swordsmen basketball teams traveled to compete in the Twin City Christmas Invitational over December 18-19.  The girls opened up the double-elimination tournament with a convincing win over Legacy Christian Academy.  The guys' first game was against the Southern New Hampshire Christian Co-op.  The game was tightly contested, but the Swordsmen were able to pull away late in the game in spite of the defensive presence of the Griffins.

The girls' next match came against South Merrimack.  Although they played the SMCA squad evenly in the second half, the Swordsmen were unable to overcome a poor first half and dropped into the loser's bracket with the loss.  The guys' team then met the host school, Twin City, in the nightcap.  After a slow start, the boys finished strong with a 25-0 run to close the first half, coasting to victory.

The girls defeated Southern new Hampshire Christian Co-op early the next morning, then defeated a tough Twin City girls' team to advance back to the championship game against SMCA, who they would have to defeat twice if they were to be crowned champions. 

Unfortunately, they were unable to build upon the previous night's second half success, with fatigue from the previous two games that day making the imposing Lady Minutemen even more daunting. We are proud of their runner-up finish as it represents the culmination of a long weekend that saw them develop into a more cohesive team unit!

The guys waited and waited and waited for their shot at earning the TCCI championship, finally tipping off around 2:30 that afternoon.  When they jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first few minutes, it appeared that they would run away with the tourney.  However, Twin City fought back over the next 12 minutes, even taking a 22-21 lead before trailing 28-22 at the half.  Trinity came out of the locker room with a renewed focus on defense and put the game out of reach by holding TCCS to three points in the third quarter.  Trinity's boys won their second Christmas invitational in three years with its victory.

 

TCS vs Tri-City Christian Academy

 Trinity Christian School officially hit the hardwood Monday night in Somersworth against non-conference opponent Tri-City Christian Academy.  

 The girls jumped out to an 11-2 first quarter lead and held that margin throughout the remainder of the game with solid defense and good ball movement.





Taylor's 15 points paced the team to its season-opening win, 29-20.

 

 The guys' team jumped out to an equally hot start, leading 20-10 at the end of the first quarter, eventually pushing the lead to 20 midway through the second quarter.  

 

However, foul trouble and poor decision-making allowed Tri-City to creep back within 9 as late as the 5 minute mark of the 3rd quarter.  Once the Swordsmen regained their defensive focus, they were able to pull away and finish with a 73-41 victory. 

 

 Four Trinity players scored in double digits, led by Jordan with 18 points.  

  

 

 

Trinity's boys play Thursday night at Bradford, while the girls take the court next against Mount Royal on Tuesday.

Away TCS Ladyswordsmen at SMCA

The Trinity girls won a hard-fought match on the road Tuesday 

against South Merrimack Christian Academy.

 

All three of the games TCS won were by two points (25-23, 28-26, and 27-25 in the clinching game).  

 Just a point or two and the match would have had a different outcome.  The coaches noted that the team play and hard work at practice wound up being the difference. 

 Hannah received the Squishy Duck for playing within her ability 
and for her offense at opportune times.

Away TCS vs DCA

The Lady Swordsmen continued their winning ways with a three set win against Dublin Christian Academy.

 The team members show a desire to continuously improve their skill, play as a team, and have a "never-give-up" attitude.
The match was capped off with the team's first ever slide!

Home TCS vs Tabernacle

 

 The Lady Swordsmen remain unbeaten after defeating Tabernacle three games to 

none on Tuesday 

 (25-10, 25-9, and 29-27).

 










Each of the girls were able to see playing time and make significant contributions, and the coaches were thankful that the upperclassmen set the tone by staying focused on the task regardless of score.

 Caroline received the Squishy Duck for pushing herself and the team to maintain a high level of play!

This win was special as it occurred on Senior Day.  Now that the home games have concluded, the team would like to thank family, friends, and fans who supported the team throughout the season but also ask for your continued support as they finish the season, prepare for 

and compete in the state and regional tournament.

 Although they faltered at times in the match, the team pulled together well when it counted.

Boys Soccer team travels to Connecticut

 

The soccer team traveled down to Connecticut to play a two game series with Emmanuel Christian Academy on Friday and Central Christian Academy on Saturday.  

 
Both games were hard-fought.  TCS lost to Emmanuel on Friday by a score of 2-1 as a penalty kick proved to be their undoing.  

On Saturday, 

 Central and TCS played to a 1-1 draw. 

These games will prove valuable as the team prepares for the state tournament and hopefully the regional tournament.
