Hoopeston took down the Trojans on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Owen Root's standout performance. Root made a splash, scoring 20 points along with seven rebounds and two blocks. It looks like he has Armstrong's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too.
Root and Hoopeston will be playing at home against the Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Hoopeston got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Warriors, probably because Root had a solid game then too: he scored 13 points along with six rebounds and three steals.
