With three games left until the midpoint of the season, the Trojans find themselves in a battle for the fourth playoff position in the conference.

The Trojans are tied with Cheyenne in fourth place and they are behind Spring Valley and Sierra Vista both at 3-1. Faith Lutheran remains undefeated at 4-0.

After the game, Coach Jill said the team was up and down a bit at first, and then became more mentally focused.

The Trojans play at Clark next on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Clark is 1-3 overall and finds itself at the bottom of the league with Western and Mojave.
