The Troy Trojans spotted an 4-1 first period lead to Alter and were never able to recover in a season ending 6-3 loss in the first round of the Columbus District Tournament

February 11, 2008

The Troy Trojans made a statement last weekend. With a 4-3 overtime defeat of Centerville the Trojans earned a date in the North Division Championship game against top seeded Alter. Troy Defeated the Knights 6-3 advancing to the Tournament Championship. Troy had their work cut out for them facing a Talawanda team that defeated the Trojans 7-2 at home on Jan. 13. Troy came out on fire netting the first goal on the first shift of the game. The Braves were not to be denied and scored three times in the first period. Troy managed to keep it close as it was 3-2 Talawanda leading the Trojans after 1 period. The second period proved to be too much for Troy as the Braves found the back of the net three more times and Troy mustered one lone goal. Troy would not quit and after Jake Rice snapped one through the Brave's goaltender's 5-hole, the Trojans elevated their game. In fact, Talawanda called a timeout to settle the troops down for the last 6 minutes. Troy continued to pressure the Braves, but a few late penalties squashed any comeback dreams. The Braves defeated the Trojans 6-4.
