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.
