BOURBON – For the second night in a row, the scoring touch eluded Triton’s boys basketball team.

The Trojans were not able to get going until the fourth quarter Saturday night against visiting Elkhart Central, and it cost Triton in a 46-36 loss. Triton, which scored just 24 points Friday night to Warsaw in the Trench, managed just 20 points heading into the fourth quarter against the Blue Blazers.

Skyler Reichert led Triton with 10 points but was part of a dismal shooting performance from behind the arc. Reichert and his Trojan teammates were just 5-of-26 combined from three-point land and a 37 percent (14-38) shooting night overall from the floor. Jordan Anderson made just 1-of-10 three-point shots and finished with eight points.

The duo of Treyton Harris and Cornell Connor paced the Blue Blazers. Harris led all scorers with 19 points and Connor finished with 13 points as the two made 12 of Elkhart’s 15 made field goals. Central (3-5) as a team also made 13-of-19 free throw attempts.

The loss leaves Triton 4-5 overall and under .500 in the first half of a season for the third year in a row. The Trojans started its 2013 state run 2-3 before rattling off five straight win and were 4-5 last season before winning seven of its next eight.

The JV game went to Elkhart Central, 33-31. Jordan Bolton led Central with eight points while Triton had eight points each from Dalton Bailey and Jarrett Kreft.

Triton will host Elkhart Christian Thursday evening.
