The Lady Trojans traveled to Lisle High School last night to play against a good Lisle team. With it being the first game after the break, sometimes you are not quite sure what you are going to get from the team. However, TC came out with great energy and excitement and that proved to a constant throughout the game. After the first quarter, TC held a slight 10-7 lead. Timothy would build on that lead by taking a nine point advantage into the half 22-13. With good ball movement and everyone contributing the team looked to build on that in the second half. In the third TC would continue to build it's lead with a nice buzzer beating three pointer by Jordyn Platt to build the lead up to 14, 33-19. The fourth quarter started out pretty good with Timothy taking a 16 point lead at one point. The Lions from Lisle would not go silently. With a determination to pressure and force turnovers, Lisle creeped it's way back into the game and before you knew it, the lead was down to two. Some well-timed free throws from Kari LeGrand gave a little breathing room, but Lisle kept going. Thankfully, the time ran out and Timothy survived with the two point win, 43-41.
The Lady Trojans played hard and were very focused from the start. A lot of credit goes to the team for making contributions in several different ways. Whether it was a nice pass, a great shot or just getting that extra rebound, it was great too see an all around effort. Jordyn Platt led the way with 14 points, 9 rebounds and the balance scoring from there paid off with Cassdiy Block (8 points, 5 rebounds) Tessa Bosman (6 points, 3 blocks) Kari LeGrand (6 points, 3 assists) Stephanie Kuiper (5 points, 5 rebounds and Shelly Ditchfield and Anna Wondergem (6 rebounds) with 2 points apiece. Great job ladies!
Timothy plays again on Saturday at 2:00 vs. Ridgewood. It's a home game so make plans to come out and cheer these girls on!
