Trojan boys move to 7-2 with basketball victory

Zach Hayenga had 15 points Monday night and Kaleb Knothe added 14 as the Worthington Trojans boys basketball team bested visiting Luverne, 65-54.


Luverne grabbed an early 3-0 edge but the Trojans quickly recovered to gain the lead and were in front the rest of the way. Coach Clint Meyer said his team did a good job in handling Luverne’s zone defense, which it played throughout the night, despite not having an extra day of practice to prepare.


Jacari Swinea had 11 points for WHS, while Marenono Opiew chipped in with 10 points and Abagotte Opiew had eight. The Trojans, now 7-2, will have a key showdown Friday night when they host New Ulm.
