Chris Wright Gets NBA Shot

Trotwood's Chris Wright will be playing his first NBA season game on Christmas day in California. Wright, who led the Trotwood Rams to the state basketball tournament two years in a row, got the call up on December 10th. He has been working out with the Golden State Warriors in Oakland California and was retained by the team after an impressive show in their preseason.

Wright will retain his old Trotwood jersey number '33' on the new uniform. He also played under the '33' during his four years at the University of Dayton.

The Warriors will face the LA Clippers on December 25th at 7:30. The game is scheduled to air live on ESPN. The Clippers were undefeated in both their preseason appearances while the Warriors lost their only preseason outing to the Kings.

What a great Christmas present for Chris and all his friends in Trotwood.

Trotwood's Green Sets State Record For TDs

Trotwood's Israel Green will go down in the state football championship record books thanks to incredible blocking on the line allowing him 35 carries in Friday's win over Avon. Green racked up 326 yards of the night's 436 and made all six touchdowns for the Trotwood-Madison Rams.

With 30 seconds to go in the first half Israel Green (3) takes
this one to the 4 yard line and a TD on the next play.

Trotwood's 42-28 win over the Avon Eagles included a few missed extra points. To compensate Trotwood made a few 2 point conversions. The first was by Mike Mccray in the first half.

All alone Mike Mccray takes this conversion in for two bringing
the score to 20-7 in the first half.

The post game celebration was was frenzied out on the field. The Rams did manage to settle down for at least one victory picture.

Earlier the seniors gathered with Coach Maurice Douglass on the podium to accept the trophy.
