It’s a small sample size (four games). But so far in 2019, R-P boys basketball has yet to lose. In a proximity rivalry game with Houston, things were knotted 30-30 early in the second. The home Trojans then ran 10-0. It propelled Chris Drinkall’s bunch to a 58-45 win over former Trojan Trent Vix’s group. Ben Wieser, a 6’3” sophomore C, posted a career-high (17 pts, 8-13 … [Read more...]

Initial Suffocation Propels Trojans
R-P’s boys started the New Year by absolutely denying their first two opponents in the first half of games. They yielded just 23 total points. It probably hasn’t happened too often that Hayfield boys basketball (9-1) sported a better record than the Trojans (5-4). Coming off a holiday loss to Randolph, R-P was all over the Section’s top-ranked QRF squad, leaving little doubt. … [Read more...]

Young Trojans Win Fifth in Six Tries
Mark the calendar; 2019-2020 should be another watershed year for Rushford-Peterson boys basketball. Until then, Trojan fans get to watch a bunch of talented young players mature.

Versus Kingsland, the game was … [Read more...]
