ROXANA - Trenton Hollaway may be just a sophomore, but he’s already making his mark wearing Roxana colors. Hollaway has already become an important piece for the Shells, on both the soccer field and basketball court.

Darr is one of four seniors on the Southwestern basketball team, and his experience comes through when talking to him. Following a recent defeat on the road to the Roxana Shells, Rocky sounded almost coach-like in his analysis of his team’s performance. “Too many turnovers, but we stuck to our game plan.” “You have to see the base of the game, if it’s a physical game, be physical
