Timothy Defeats Holy Trinity 53-31

The Lady Trojans came out a little flat this evening, but not because of energy or effort. The girls were just unable to execute in making the simple pass, the simple lay-up or the wide open shot. Thankfully there are two halves in basketball and the Lady Trojans played better extended the lead at one point to 26 points. The Lady Trojans were led in scoring by senior, Anneke Stremler with 15 points and 8 rebounds. Meghan Leach and Shannon McNeil contributed 11 and 10 respectively. The girls are off until next week Wednesday when they play Nazareth at home.

"Most Valuable Baller" on the evening goes to Anneke Stremler. Congrats to Anneke!

Timothy falls short in Championship Game 51-33

The Bulldogs from Batavia were just a little too much too handle for the Lady Trojans this afternoon. The Lady Trojans battled for the majority of the game, but was just unable to sustain the effort needed to overcome a talented Batavia team. Shannon McNeil led the Lady Trojans with 12 points, 13 rebounds and sophomore, Kari LeGrand, contributed 9 points. The ladies will be back in action this coming Tuesday, the 25th of November vs. Holy Trinity. It will be Timothy’s first home game, so make plans to come on out and support the girls!

The "most valuable baller" of the game went to Shannon McNeil. Good work Shannon.

A Quick Note

Tomorrow after practice, we will watch a little bit of our game vs. Elmwood Park. The goal is to be done by 5:00!!!

Opening Night Win!

Well, the season started off on a good note for the Lady Trojans. It was definitely the first game of the season for the Lady Trojans, with missed lay-ups, some extra nerves and just the inability to hit the open shot. All in all, it was a good stepping stone for the Lady Trojans to build off of. The game was highlighted by the individual play of Shannon McNeil. Shannon finished with 12 points, 17 rebounds and 3 steals. Also, sophomore, Lauren Couture stepped up with 8 points and good overall team passing sealed the win late for the Lady Trojans. The team plays next on this coming Friday at 5:30pm vs. the winner of IMSA and Earlville.

Lauren Couture also earned the first "MVB" Most Valuable Baller of the game. Congrats to Lauren or should I say "LC" Her picture is above.

Good job this morning ladies. There were many positives to take away from this morning's scrimmage, most notably our energy and effort were good. Also, I was pleased in how we finished practice.

A couple of points to remember for Monday:

1.) team picture at 3:05 in the cafeteria...be dressed and ready!
2.) team devotions will be after practice, roughly 4:50-5:15 (Coach Mark)
3.) remember to have your 3 goals written in your binder.
