TC overtakes Westmont

After being let out of school for Christmas break at noon, the Lady Trojans had to comeback and play a home game vs. Westmont at 7:00pm.  With the holiday break already in mind, the team came out a little sluggish and fell behind 19-9 in the first half.  Thankfully, TC was able to make a big push before halftime and closed with a 13-2 run, which put them up 22-21 at the half.

The third quarter did not see much offensive action with both teams scoring only 6 and 4.  Fortunately, the Lady Trojans had the upper hand in the quarter and took a three point lead into the 4th.  Outside of the closing run to finish the first half, the 4th quarter was all Timothy.  The Lady Trojans outscored Westmont 12-2 in the final phase and took home a holiday break win with a score of 40-27.

There were many girls who contributed to the win on this night.  Kelli LeGrand led the way with 9 points and Stephanie Kuiper had 8 points.  Kaylie Pries had 7, while Brittany Scheidt and Sara Hodges both contributed 6 points.  Alexis Hoogendoorn and Juliana Stremler finished the scoring with 2 points apiece.

A big thank you to all the fans who showed up and cheered the team on!  Thank you for your support and encouragement.  The Lady Trojans will be back in action after Christmas on the 26th.  The team will play at the Lisle Tournament vs. Coal City at 5:00pm.  Hope to see you out there.

Enjoy time with family and friends over the break!

A Wonderful Week in Review

This past week turned into a great a week for the Lady Trojans.  As stated in an earlier post, the Lady Trojans defeated Illiana on Tuesday by a score of 37-23.  That win marked the first stop along a very busy week.

Up next, the Lady Trojans were again busy with activities, but this time it had nothing to do with basketball.  On Wednesday night, the team was hosted by the Bone family for a team meal.  At this team meal, the girls put together a video for the 12 days of Bubbaclaus (Bubba Watson).  Feel free to stop one of the girls or the coaches for a further explanation on what Bubbaclaus is.  Anyways, the team took part in smashing a cake (basketball looking and all) that was wonderfully decorated by Mrs. Bone.  After Kaylie Pries smashed the cake with a driver, the team was destined for greatness.  The girls ended up not winning a prize for their video, but they did make the highlights on the Golf Channel!  A pretty cool thing to say the least.

Now, back to basketball.  On Friday, Timothy hosted Fenton and the game turned out to be a tough contest throughout.  The Lady Trojans used a strong second half to build enough of a cushion, that eventually would hold up.  The final score was 46-36.  Timothy was led in scoring by Kelli LeGrand with 15pts, 6 reb, 2 assists, 2 steals.   Sophomore Kaitlyn Gehrke came up with a big game herself with 12pts, 8 reb and 4 blocks.  Rounding out the night were Stephanie Kuiper (6pts, 7reb) Alexis Hoogendoorn (4pts) Sara Hodges (9pts, 6 reb) Kaylie Pries (2pts, 5 reb).

Timothy continued it's long week with another game on Saturday vs. Immaculate Conception.  In playing back to back games before, TC has been unable to complete the back to back format with consecutive wins.  Well, that changed yesterday!  IC got off to a good start with taking a 18-9 lead, but Timothy was able to close out the half with a 12-3 run, thus squaring the game up at 21.

With a great third quarter, highlighted by Brittany Scheidt scoring 8 points in 3 minutes, the Lady Trojans were on a roll.  After building a 15 point lead at one point, Timothy hung on for a 45-37 win.  Once again, good all around team play contributed to the victory and the great week.  Kaylie Pries led the team in scoring with 12 pts and Sara Hodges had 11.  After completing a 3-0 week, the team looks forward to another tough week with Lisle and Westmont ahead.

Thanks for everyone's support and encouragement throughout the week.  It is appreciated.

Timothy defeats Fenton

The Lady Trojans defeated Fenton HS last night by the score of 46-36.  More details will follow this weekend, but up first, another game!  Timothy host's Immaculate Conception at 1:00pm today!

Lady Trojans defeat Illiana

The Lady Trojans hosted Illiana Christian on this past Tuesday and defeated the Vikings by a score of 37-23.  The game itself lacked a little energy and it was a struggle to get any type of game flow.  Timothy had the lead throughout, but really only extended it in the 4th.  Thanks to a couple of timely baskets by Kelli LeGrand and Juliana Stremler, the Lady Trojans were able to win going away.  It was a very balanced night in the scoring department as Kelli and Stephanie Kuiper led the team in scoring with 9 points each.  Alexis Hoogendoorn provided a spark off the bench with 4 points and 3 steals, while Kaylie Pries and Juliana also had 4 points.  Sara Hodges had a ton of steals while Brittany Scheidt contributed some timely rebounds.

Timothy plays Fenton this Friday at 7:30pm.  The game is at Home, so make plans to support the team.

The Week in Review

The Lady Trojans had a busy week this past week with three games in five days.  The team knew going into the week that they had a good opportunity to make an impression in our conference and the ability to improve self confidence.

The week started out with a home loss to Riverside-Brookfield 45-41.  This was a tough game to swallow as the Lady Trojans lead nearly the entire game, but in the end, missed lay-ups, free throws and open shots did not fall for TC.  Sara Hodges led the team in scoring with 13 points.

On Friday night, Timothy traveled to Elmwood Park and was able to pull out a comfortable 47-30 victory.  The Lady Trojans displayed some good ball movement, clutch shooting and some overall good defense.  Timothy was led by Stephanie Kuiper's 14 points.

Then, just yesterday, TC suffered another frustrating loss to Chicago Christian 38-34.  After trailing by 7 points at the half, Timothy used a 10-2 third quarter to take the lead and carry the lead into the final minutes of the game.  However, a similar tune as it was in the R-B game, with missed lay-ups, missed shots and this time, not coming up with a defensive rebound when needed, proved to be the downfall.

The week ended in a 1-2 record, but it showed the team that they are ready to take the next step in pulling out close games.  With valuable learning experiences behind them, the Lady Trojans look forward to another busy week where they can show their resolve.

Thank you fans for your support, especially on the road.  It was and is greatly appreciated.

Lady Trojans Take Home Opener

Well, as they say "there is no place like home" and that rang true on Friday night for the Lady Trojans. In hosting Ridgewood for their second conference game of the season, Timothy was very excited to get things off and running. TC jumped out to a very quick lead in the game and that really set the tone for the rest of the game. With every player contributing early, it was evident that Timothy came ready to play. The Lady Trojans continued to extend their lead at the half by taking a 37-22 positive margin into the break. The goal was to continue to build on the lead that the Lady Trojans built up in the first half and that they did. With great ball movement and unselfish play evident throughout, the Lady Trojans won going away in this one. The final score was 65-41 and Timothy had their first home win of the season.

 As it was stated above, many players helped out on this evening. Sara Hodges led the team in scoring with 13 points. Stephanie Kuiper had 12 points and Kelli LeGrand had 11 points. 6 reb. and 7 assists. Brittany Schedit had 7 points and 7rebounds. Mackenzie Bone (3pts) Alexis Hoogendoorn (2pts) Kaylie Pries (9pts) and Kaitlyn Gehrke (8pts, 7 reb) all contributed to the scoring. It was a fun night all around with our Freshman and JV teams also winning. Thanks to our fans who came out and supported the program on this night. TC will be back in action on Tuesday night vs. Riverside-Brookfield at home. Go TC!!
