Please text or stop by Coach DK's office to sign-up for a time right after school on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each interview should last between 10-15 minutes. Thanks again for a great season.

Jordyn Advances Down State!

Congratulations to Senior Jordyn Platt for advancing in the State 3pt. Competition. Jordyn will be heading down state to Illinois State University to shoot amongst the final 32 shooters in the class 2A division. Jordyn made a total of 7 three pointers last night to advance down state for Timothy Christian, which has not had a shooter advance this far since Allie Baumbach did it back in 2005. Jordyn will be shooting at 5:00 on Thursday the 24th of February. We wish Jordyn the very best as she continues her quest to be the best 3pt. shooter in class 2A!

Practice Tomorrow

We were able to get our practice time switched for tomorrow. So, now we are practicing right after school on half a court instead of at 6:30pm in the Middle School. See you right after school. GO TC!

Regional Champs!!!

Well, if ESPN was filming this game last night, I think it would go down as an instant classic. The Lady Trojans and the Lady Knights from Immaculate Conception battled for 4 quarters and then two overtimes. But, first let's talk about how we got to the end. Timothy came out fired up and raced out to an 11-2 lead. However, IC would come right back and eventually tie the game at 11. With a 3 pointer before the end of the first quarter, Timothy led 14-11 after one. The second quarter continued to show a good flow of basketball as each team would trade baskets back and forth. TC would finally hold a 30-25 advantage at the half. IC came out red hot in the 3rd quarter and used a great spurt to take a two point advantage into the 4th, 37-35. IC would eventually extend their lead to 7 points at one time in the quarter, only to see the Lady Trojans come roaring back to tie the game at 43. Timothy would actually take the lead 45-43, but two clutch free throws by IC tied it up. Both teams missed out on opportunities to win it, so off we go to overtime.

Overtime saw the same as the first four quarters, with both teams trying to do whatever it took to win. With the scored tied at 50-50, TC had a chance to win it, but a pass was a little long and Timothy would end up settling for quick shot. On to a second overtime! With neither team giving an inch, every possession became bigger and bigger. Timothy would finally find a way to capture the lead and hold onto it. With hitting some clutch free throws and coming up with a big steal, Timothy would hold on to capture it's 14th Regional Championship for the program.

Tessa Bosman led the way in scoring for the Lady Trojans with 19 points. Cassidy Block had a big game in scoring 16 points and grabbing a game high 13 rebounds. Jordyn Platt contributed 13 points and Kari LeGrand dropped in 8. Jessica Dirkse also hit a very timely 3 pointer for the team.

The team now advances to the Sectional Semi-Finals on Tuesday night vs. Walther Lutheran. The game will be played at Westminster Christian (Elgin) at 7:30pm. Timothy also had two shooters, Kari LeGrand and Jordyn Platt, advance in the 3 point competition. They will shoot before the game on Tuesday, roughly around 6:45pm.

Some Pictures from Last Night

Thanks to Mr. H. for taking and providing these pictures.

Lady Trojans Advance

The Lady Trojans used a fast start to help lead the way to a comfortable win. In leading 22-4 after one quarter of play, the tone was pretty much set that TC was going to advance in the state playoffs. Give credit to Collins Academy for playing a tough game and creating some good scoring opportunities. The final score for the night was 52-34. Kari LeGrand led the way with 14 points and Cassidy Block chipped in 12 points. Tessa Bosman also dropped in 9 points. Anna Wondergem also played a good spirited game with 4 points and 5 rebounds. Several other girls which included Jordyn Platt, Shelly Ditchfield, Jessica Dirkse and Stephanie Kuiper all found the scoring column as well.

TC now advances to the Regional Championship game which will be held tomorrow night at 7:30pm. The game will be played at Timothy so make plans to come out and cheer these girls on. It should be a great night of basketball.

On a side note, congrats to Jordyn Platt, Kari LeGrand and Jessica Dirkse for advancing in the 3pt competition. All three girls will shoot tomorrow before the game at approximately 6:50pm.

TC defeats Illiana

Timothy bounced back in grand fashion after a previous loss to Riverside-Brookfield tonight by beating Illiana Christian 59-45. The Lady Trojans came out hot from the start, mainly from the 3pt land which lead to some great baskets inside the arc as well. Timothy was able to take a seven point lead into the half, 23-16. One might have thought that this was going to be a defensive grind in the second half, but both teams came out firing from all angles. TC scored on it's first five possessions of the 2nd half which allowed them to build an 18 point lead. However, Illiana responded with their own run and cut the lead down to 9. Timothy would wind up moving the ball and making the extra pass when needed to convert on some easy baskets and finishes around the hole. A good team win this evening!

There were many contributors on the night, starting with Cassidy Block (17 points, 7 rebounds) Kari LeGrand (15 points, 3 rebounds) Tessa Bosman (10 points, 6 rebounds) Jordyn Platt (8 points, 4 steals, 3 assists) Jessica Dirkse (4 points,2 rebounds) Shelly Ditchfield (2 points, 2 assists) Stephanie Kuiper (2 points, 2 rebounds). Nice job on the win Ladies!

We would also like to thank our honorary team manager for the evening, Abby VanderWal, for doing such a great job. Whether that was cheering the girls on, eating your skittles on the bench or breaking down the team huddle at the end, you did an outstanding job. Thanks Abby!

R-B downs Timothy

After having a couple of snow days, the Lady Trojans were back in action for the first time in a week. With some rust that was clearly evident, the Bulldogs from R-B got off to a fast start, leading 14-7 after one quarter of play. TC would make a nice turnaround in the second quarter narrowing the gap to one at the half, 22-21. The third quarter so a lot of back and forth play with R-B once again holding the edge 33-30 after three quarters of play. Timothy would take a one point lead in the 4th quarter, but R-B responded with a quick basket of their own and made their free throws down the stretch. Final score ended up being 50-42.

Cassdiy Block led the Lady Trojans with 14 points, 10 rebounds, Kari LeGrand (11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals) Tessa Bosman (4 points, 10 rebounds) Anna Wondergem (4 points, 2 rebounds) Stephanie Kuiper (4 points, 2 blocks) Jordyn Platt (3 points, 3 rebounds) all chipped in as well.

TC now travels to Illiana Christian on Saturday night to square off against the Lady Vikings. Game time is set for 6:30pm.

Update on Senior Night....

We have been looking at several scenarios concerning the honoring of our Seniors and the best scenario at the moment is to honor them this Friday at the boy's game. The plan is to have all the Seniors recognized before the start of the Varsity Boy's game. Each player will be talked about and then be joined by their parent(s). Also, the handing out of Senior gifts and celebrating in general will take place after the boy's game in a designated room. More details to come, but wanted to get the word out about this real possibility.

Snow, Snow and More Snow!

Word is spreading quite quickly, but we do not have school tomorrow for a second straight day. With us not having school does not mean that our game is cancelled for tomorrow evening. Please stay tuned for information concerning our game for tomorrow night. Hope everyone is enjoying some down time and extra rest.

Tonight's Game, Festivites have been Cancelled

Due to the projection of snow and sever weather coming our way, all festivities for tonight have been cancelled. Obviously, with this being Senior Night, it is a big disappointment that things will not be able to go as scheduled. We are working on figuring out another night to honor our Seniors so please stay tuned for that. For now, the game itself has been re-scheduled for Monday, February 7 at Glenbard South. The reason the game is being played at Glenbard South is because we are hosting Regionals at our place on that night. Due to a lack of flexibility in our schedule we are somewhat locked into this scenario. Once again, stay tuned as things may change.

I do appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter as we look into figuring everything out.
