Timothy Christian 59, Wheaton Academy 37: Timothy Christian and Wheaton Academy went in completely different directions in the second half.

The Trojans caught fire, while Wheaton Academy couldn't buy a basket as Timothy Christian went on to rout the Warriors 59-37 in a Private School League game.

The game was tied 19-19 at the break when Timothy decided to score in streaks in the final two periods. In the first half the Trojans shot 8 of 22 but quickly turned things around in the second half, shooting an impressive 15 of 24 from the field.

"We have to work together as a team," Timothy forward Vince Williams said. "We need to get everyone involved and get the best shot available. We did that extremely well in the second half."

While the Trojans (10-12, 3-3) were burning up the nets, Wheaton Academy struggled just to make a shot from the field. In the second half the Warriors shot 2 of 13 with their first basket coming on a 3-pointer by Timothy Streets with 1:21 remaining in the game. Streets hit another 3-pointer 30 seconds later to have both of the field goals for the Warriors.

The Warriors (12-5, 3-3) mustered just 13 shots in the second half because they were in the bonus for the final two minutes of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter, shooting 12 of 17 from the free-throw line.

Wheaton Academy coach Paul Ferguson said he will need to watch game film of the second half to find out exactly what happened.

"That was the worst half we have played all season; I don't know what I said to them at half," Ferguson said. "We just struggled offensively. They did a nice job defensively against us and we didn't do a good job stopping them in transition."

Timothy coach Jeff Powers said that it was nice to see his team shoot extremely well in the second half. That was something it has not done all that well this season.

"Our defense has been keeping us in ballgames all season long," Powers said. "It was nice that we were able to hit some shots and pull away in the second half. Our shooting hasn't been great, so maybe this will get us on a roll."

Ben Euler led the Warriors with 15 points in the loss.

Jaaron Holmes and Williams led Timothy with 13 and 11 points, respectively
