T-M Heads To Regionals

By Bruce Kettelle

After being stopped by Centerville last year, things are quite different for the Trotwood-Madison Rams basketball team. Trotwood’s decisive 52-32 win over the Centerville Elks this weekend moves the basketball team into the regional brackets.

Trotwood earned its sixth straight GWOC Championship title this season. The last time they saw regional action was 2008 after they won a face off against Moeller for the sectional title. This year the team is deep in talent propelled by DaWaun Thomas named to the all-district first team and Darnell Tubbs named to the all-district third team. The Rams record now sits at 19 wins, 4 losses.

The regional playoff starts with a run against Archbishop Moeller (18-4) on Saturday March 13 in UD Arena at 3:45. Moeller will undoubtedly be thinking about the close 48-45 Ram victory at their last meeting. Considering the talent on both benches Saturday’s game will be filled with drama.

The winner will move on to play the winner of the Princeton/Fairmont match on March 17. Advance tickets will be available at the high school.
