Trojan boys stay unbeaten in EPC

After eight days off because of weather postponements, the Parkland High School boys basketball team had two games in a span of three nights, both in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference and both at home. And they were both victories by double figures.

The Trojans led from start to finish and defeated defending EPC champion, Central Catholic 61-42 last Saturday. They then took down Allen 68-47 two nights later.

In the win over Central, Parkland jumped out to a 17-8 lead after the opening quarter and then went up by double digits at halftime, taking a 29-19 advantage into the locker room. The game was decided in the third quarter as the Trojans outscored the Vikings 18-9 to go on top 47-28 heading into the final quarter.

Nick Coval finished with a game-high 20 points and made three 3-pointers. Zaire Smaltz recorded 14 points and Jayden Thomas joined the trio finishing in double figures in scoring with 10 points. Luke Spang tallied eight points. Connor Johns contributed four points. Robbie Ruisch added three points and Michael Toth rounded out the scoring for Parkland with two points.
