The Troy High School girls basketball

team could not match baskets in road-game losses at Noxon and

Plains.

The Lady Trojans opened their weekend

with a fairly good first half on Friday at Noxon. But the Red

Devils pulled away in the second half for a 42-27 victory.

Troy led 11-10 through eight minutes

and trailed only 17-15 at halftime. In the third quarter, the

Devils outscored Troy, 15-7, and continued to play good defense in

the fourth.

Jackie Pepiot led the Trojans with

eight points.

Troy experienced a repeat the following

day at Plains. After staying within striking distance in the first

half, the Lady Trojans had third-quarter problems in what ended up

as a 57-38 loss.

Plains held leads of 10-8 at the end of

the first and 28-21 at halftime. The Trotters outscored Troy, 18-4,

in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

Troy had lost to Plains by just seven

points in the first matchup between the two schools on Dec. 20.

Pepiot again led THS in scoring with 17

points. Kimmy Klin added nine.

Troy (0-8, 0-13) will head to Misson on

Friday. The varsity game is expected to tip-off at 7 p.m. The girls

then come home to the Troy Activity Center on Saturday to face

Bigfork at 4:30 p.m.
