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 FGs, 7 rebs). Landon Skalet (17 pts, 3-6 threes, 7 rebs, 5 asts, 4 stls) and Luke O’Hare (16 pts, 6 rebs) made it a triple-attack. Houston, which basically went with five guys, was led by Alex Van Gundy (16 pts, 6-12 FGs) and James Hongerholt (15 pts, 9 rebs, 5 asts). The game took about 1:07 of real time. Houston falls to 1-5, 3-7. R-P then handled Southland 71-34. Wieser (15 pts, 5-6 FGs, 5-6 FTs, 6 rebs), Skalet (12 pts, 4-8 threes, 5 asts), O’Hare (8 pts, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 3 stls), and Kobe Lind (10 pts, 6 rebs, 3 stls) led the way. Seven Trojans scored 7-plus. R-P (4-2, 9-4) has won four straight, and seven of eight.
