Timothy outlasts Fenton

Yesterday saw the Lady Trojans host conference foe Fenton High School. With a start time of 5:00, not a normal time, both teams found it difficult to get their offenses going. With a score of 18-17 at the half, the Lady Trojans were ready to get things going, and that they did. With a 24 point outburst in the third quarter, Timothy was able to build a little bit of a lead. However, Fenton scored 18 points in the third quarter which kept the game close. The fourth quarter had plenty of drama as Timothy thought a comfortable lead of eight points was going to win the game. But, as in most cases, the game is never easy. Fenton made a furious rally to the point where they had the last shot to win it on a three pointer. Thankfully for the Lady Trojans the shot was long and did not draw iron. The missed shot completed a game that was very tense throughout. The final score was 48-46.

Cassidy Block continued her strong play with 17 points,10 rebounds, 3 assists. Tessa Bosman stepped up and contributed 10 points and 9 rebounds. Jessica Dirkse chipped in 7 points, 2 rebounds while Stephanie Kuiper and Shelly Ditchfield each had 5 points. Kelli LeGrand had a solid all around game with 4 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals while Jasmine Stein did a great job of handling the ball and dished out 3 assists and grabbed 3 rebounds.

Timothy battles Glenbard South on Tuesday night and then hosts Riverside-Brookfield on Thursday which will be Senior Night.
