The Lady Trojans started the state playoffs in grand fashion this evening. In a rematch vs. Immaculate Conception in which IC beat Timothy earlier this year, the game had special meaning to TC. Timothy came out fired up and took an early 16-6 lead after one quarter of play. The second quarter saw the offensive play slow down a little with each team scoring 8 and 7 respectively. That allowed Timothy to take a 24-13 lead at the half.
As has been the entire season, the Lady Trojans were playing some great defense in which IC shot 5-22 from the field in the first half. With a lot of positive momentum going into the half, Timothy was committed to playing some great basketball in the second half. Once again, the Lady Trojans got off to a great start, but Immaculate Conception came back and played tough. Here again, both teams scored 9 and 8 which continued to allow Timothy to build on their lead.
Leading 33-21 going into the fourth quarter, Timothy was not going to let this game slip away. With some timely free throws, some great steals and enough rebounding, Timothy came home with the win 44-27.
Cassidy Block led the way with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 assists. Kelli LeGrand chipped in 7 points and 2 steals, while Jessica Dirkse and Kaylie Pries each had 6 points. Shelly Ditchfield had a solid around game: 4 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, let alone some great defense. Tessa Bosman had 5 points and 5 rebounds and Stephanie Kuiper had a timely bucket for 2 points.
The Lady Trojans now play in the Regional Championship on Thursday night at 7:30pm The game will be played at Wheaton Academy and Timothy will be playing a familiar foe, Walther Lutheran. Make plans now to come out and support the Lady Trojans as they try to bring home the Regional Championship.
