The Trinity Episcopal Varsity Saints basketball team faced Marshall Academy from Holly Springs, MS at the Brookhaven Academy Holiday Invitational Tournament last night and won 60-47.  The Saints defeated Marshall Academy about a month ago for the State A Football Championship.  

Four Trinity players were in foul trouble, but settled down and finished with no player fouling out.  The Saints were awarded the tournament trophy. 

Tommy McCoy led Trinity scoring with 22 points. Arzell McCoy had 14 points and 8 rebounds. Wyatt Boothe scored 10 points, Trey Hall had 8 points, and Michael Whitley added 6 points. Trinity did not complete a 3 point shot, but made 14 of 20 free throws for 70%.  

Dakota Daily scored 22 points for Marshall.  Other Patriot scorers were Andrew Harrington with 12 points, and Christian Compton with 8 points.  

The Saints are now 10-0 for the 2013-14 basketball season.

Marshall falls to 8-2.
