While losing is never fun, the Trojans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 27th, while the Saints are ranked fifth).

Ashley has been hot recently, having also posted two or more steals the last four times he's played. Keon Long-Mtume was another key player, dropping a double-double with 14 points and ten boards.
