The Lady Trojans were involved in their first overtime game of the season on Saturday afternoon. The visiting Tigers from Elmwood Park played hard and made for quite an interesting game. The Lady Trojans took a six point lead into the half, only to see themselves go cold from the field in the 3rd quarter. With only scoring four points, Elmwood Park crept back into the game and that momentum carried over into the 4th. With the game going back and forth with both teams making a basket or free throw here and there, it provided some tense drama. TC was unable to get anything going on the offensive end with about 10 seconds to go, which resulted in EP getting the ball back with 4.8 seconds left. Some good defensive pressure by the Lady Trojans created a turnover with 2 seconds left. However, TC was not able to get a good look and the game headed into overtime. Timothy played some great defense and rebounded the ball well in the overtime period and that provided a spark for the offense. With Jordyn Platt hitting some free throws and a lay-up the team was able to exhale a little. The girls found a way to muster up enough energy in the overtime period to get the win 48-39. Good job ladies and way to pull it out. Timothy was led in scoring by Renata Harris and Tessa Bosman with 10 points apiece. Renata did a great job in stepping up for the team and her efforts paid off. Bosman also grabbed a team high in rebounds with 8. Other stats on the day included: Jordyn Platt (9 points, 3 rebounds) Kari LeGrand (7 points, 4 assists) Jessica Dirkse (6 points, 2 rebounds) Shelly Ditchfield (2 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists) and Anna Wondergem and Stephanie Kuiper chipping in 2 points apiece.
The Lady Trojans will be back in action this coming Thursday (1/20) vs. Fenton High School. It is yet another home game, so come out and keep cheering for these hard working girls. They have displayed a great attitude and a willingness to get better. Hope to see you out there!
