On Dec. 7, the Trojan’s Varsity girls’ basketball team faced the Airport High School Jets at the Monroe Larry Beason Memorial Gymnasium, ending with a Jets win 38-50.

After a three pointer from the Jets, the score evened out a little bit. The Jets got a break tying up the game.

The Trojans got two three-point shots, giving them back the lead for the start of the second quarter.

After a close halftime score of 23-24, the Jets took the lead for the rest of the game, losing it only once in the second half.
