With the GWOC Game of the Year possibly on tap tonight, Trotwood (14-1) & Wayne (13-0) both have had banner seasons.
With D-1 players all over the court, this is sure to be a epic battle of some of the best basketball to offer in Dayton.
The youth of Trotwood has meant absolutely nothing as the Rams have thwarted everyone in the state of Ohio. Included in that is a signature win at Dunbar, which the Rams showed more poise and maturity then that of the Wolverines, who usually eat up opponents on their home court.
But facing the heralded Wayne Train has been no fun for any team in the GWOC, especially in the last 3 or 4 years.
Coach Travis Trice has put the Warriors squarely on the National Map, and they have all the weapons to stay there, in Trey Landers, Rodrick Caldwell and L'Christian "Blue" Smith.
The Warriors have supreme confidence that they will get the job done. They have risen up to every challenge this (and last) season.
Trotwood has all the weapons to win the game, question is, can they actually outplay the Top Team in Ohio and possibly the country?
A very tall task for a talented group of youngsters.
But not impossible.
