Kudos to Trotwood’s guard duo, Thomas and Tubbs
DAYTON — Moeller coach Carl Kremer had a quick reaction when told Trotwood-Madison guards DaWuan Thomas and Darnell Tubbs were both seniors.
“Well thank God for that,” Kremer said after his Moeller team topped Trotwood 51-47 in a Division I district final on Saturday, March 13, at UD Arena.
He had good reason for the reaction. Thomas scored Trotwood’s final nine points to finish with a game-high 18, and Tubbs used a similar nine-point run in the third quarter to finish with 17. Between them, Thomas and Tubbs had 35 of Trotwood’s 47 points, and Tubbs added eight rebounds, three steals and two blocks.
Throughout the season, the area has included a strong guard pool, and Thomas and Tubbs have been at the top of that list. Trotwood coach Mark Baker regularly said that Thomas was perhaps the bets all-around guard in the area and that Tubbs was probably one of the best athletes in the state.
Moeller, though, took the lead for good early in the fourth quarter, and Trotwood just couldn’t catch up.
Trotwood will be strong again next season, as the Rams often are. But, they’ll be without a guard duo that regularly fed off of each other for energy, points and court smarts to make Trotwood one of the area’s two best D-I teams (with Wayne) all year.
