Timothy overtakes Fenton

After a long layoff in which the Lady Trojans had not played game since November 19, Timothy took to the road this evening and battled Fenton in the opening of conference play. The long layoff did not hurt the team, as they jumped out to an 11-3 lead after one quarter of play. The second quarter saw Fenton climb their way back into the game and cut the lead to 20-17 at the half.

Timothy was able to regroup at the half and came out to prove they could play better. The third quarter was back in forth with Timothy eventually taking a 31-24 lead into the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter was all Timothy! The Lady Trojans did a great job of moving the ball and converting easy baskets to put the game away. The final ended up being 44-29 in favor of the Lady Trojans.

Tessa Bosman led the way tonight with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Cassidy Block chipped in 9 points and 4 rebounds while Stephanie Kuiper continued her strong start to the season with 6 points, 2 rebounds and a huge block. Jessica Dirkse added 5 points to help round out the scoring. Kaylie Pries, Shelly Ditchfield and many others contributed some great defense tonight.

Timothy is off until Friday night, in which they host Glenbard South at 7:00pm. Make plans to come out and support the Lady Trojans in their home opener!

Timothy Wins the Consolation Championshp

Timothy wrapped up tournament play by defeating Wheaton St. Francis this afternoon. Both teams were stuck in a classic dog fight with neither team leading by more than 4 points. The back and forth struggle was marred by plenty of fouls by each team. The teams combined to shoot 57 free throws! That's a lot of Free Throws. Unfortunately for the Lady Trojans, we did not make many of those attempts. But, thanks to some timely baskets and a few made free throws, Timothy pulled out the win 52-50. In winning the game, Timothy took home the Consolation Championship trophy...photos to come hopefully:-)

The Lady Trojans were led by two players with monster games. First off, Tessa Bosman dropped in 16 points and grabbed an astounding amount of rebounds....17 to be exact. Not to be outdone, Cassidy Block also dropped in 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. With the two double double efforts leading the way, Stephanie Kuiper contributed 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, Jessica Dirkse with 5 points, Kelli LeGrand 2 points, 3 assists and Kaylie Pries with 3 points.

Timothy is off for awhile, with their next game not until Nov. 29 vs. Fenton. The Timothy Christian Girls Basketball Program says thanks to all who came this afternoon and we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Directions to Aurora Christian

The game will be played at Aurora Christian this afternoon. It is literally right down the street from IMSA. The game time is set for 1:30pm.

Lady Trojans bounce back!

After suffering a season opening loss, the Lady Trojans were eager to get back on the court and show some improvement. They did not disappoint this evening as they rolled to a comfortable win over Indian Creek. After opening the 1st quarter with a blistering score of 17-2, Timothy never let Indian Creek back into the game. Timothy had a very balanced attack on the night, with several girls chipping in points to post the 51-13 win.

The Lady Trojans were led on the night by Cassidy Block. Cassidy posted her first ever triple double on the evening. She had 17 points, 12 rebounds and 10 steals. With Cassidy setting the pace, Stephanie Kuiper dropped in 9 points, 2 rebounds, Tessa Bosman with 7 points, 4 rebounds, block and Kelli LeGrand also chipped in 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. Not to be outdone, Brittany Scheidt (3 points, 3 assists) Amber Scheidt (2 points) Jessica Dirkse (2 points) and Ciara Hoddenbach (2 points) also helped out.

Timothy plays tomorrow afternoon at 1:30pm for the Consolation Championship. The game will be played at Aurora Christian HS. Hope to see you out there.

Game Tonight at 5:30pm

Due to a desire for Aurora Christian to play at home tonight, our game will be at IMSA once again.

Timothy drops their Season Opener

The Lady Trojans saw their first game action this evening as they traveled to Illinois Math and Science Academy to play in the Hoop Happenings Tournament. Timothy squared off against the Lady Foxes from Yorkville. With it being the first game, sloppy stole the show for most of the evening. Timothy was never really able to establish a rhythm in the game, due to the unfortunate nature of too many turnovers.

Timothy tried to battle through uneven play, but Yorkville capitalized a little too much on the sloppy play. Give credit to the Lady Foxes as they played aggressive and pressured the Lady Trojans all night. The final was 40-23. Timothy was led in scoring by Tessa Bosman with 6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals. Jessica Dirkse chipped in 5 points, 2 rebounds and Cassidy Block had 4 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals and a blocked shot. Stephanie Kuiper had 1 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks.

The Lady Trojans play again on Friday night at 5:30pm. The game will be played at Aurora Christian High School.

Game Tonight @ 5:30pm

Team

Ladies,

It was great to see a lot of you at the dance last night. Thanks for not making too much fun of the "floss boss". All of you are wonderful people and I was able to get a little glimpse of that last night away from the court. I trust you had a great time as well!
