Tippecanoe Valley Uses Big Second Half To Hold On Against Triton

It was all about second half adjustments, Tippecanoe Valley girls basketball coach Chris Kindig told me after his team's 48-40 win over Triton Tuesday night.
Triton’s Offense Explodes In Win Over Lakeland Christian

It was a “blink and you miss it” type of night at the Trench Tuesday night, as both the Triton and Lakeland Christian boys basketball teams treated fans to a high scoring affair. Neither team wasted much time setting up its offense, but both made the most of its opportunities, scoring points in droves. In the end, it was Triton who would emerge from the non-conference shootout with a 79-60 victory. The Trojans improve to 3-1 this winter, while the Cougars fall to 3-2.
Triton Not ‘Terrible’ In Lopsided Loss

Jets Blow Past Trojans For Sectional Title

Former Whitko Great Krull Begins Journey At Triton

Over the course of the last 12 seasons, the Triton Lady Trojans basketball program won 139 games. The team won two sectional championships, including one last year. All of this took place under head coach Adam Heckaman.

When Heckaman resigned in early October, some thought that it might signal a rebuilding period for Lady Trojan basketball.

New head coach Kennedy Krull would have to disagree.
Northfield Hands Triton a 22-13 Sectional Semifinal Win

The Triton Trojans football team could only muster one first half touchdown on two Northfield Norsemen fumbles, and two more Norsemen mishandled punt snaps.

The beginning of the school year is usually an exciting time. Kids get to see their friends after summer break, friendships are renewed and the lights shine bright on Friday night football games. It’s a time of year most look forward to, and the memories can last a lifetime.

But for a large chunk of this community, that excitement has been overshadowed by heartbreak.

Triton Rallies For Win

You can hear blaring music from almost a mile away. You can smell the popcorn popping and the hot dogs grilling from the moment you enter the front gate. Once you get to your seat, all you can see is a sea of blue.

It can only mean one thing: Triton football is back. The game itself wasn’t as pretty as the sights and sounds, but after the result, Trojan fans likely could care less.
