Congrats to Kaylie

The post season honors keep coming in and this one has much to do about the classroom as much as it does the court.  Kaylie Pries was recognized as an Honorable Mention for the IHSA All-Academic Team.  Kaylie has been a great leader for us this past year on the court and we are glad to see her get recognized for her work in the classroom as well!  Great job Kaylie!

Way to go Brittany!

Brittany Scheidt converted 8 of her 15 3pt attempts last night and that was good enough to advance downstate.  Brittany will be shooting next Thursday at 4:30pm at Illinois State University.  Awesome job Brittany.

All Conference

Congrats to Kelli LeGrand, Stephanie Kuiper and Sara Hodges for being selected to the Metro Suburban Conference All Conference Team.  We are blessed to have all three of you on our team!

Not to be.....

The Lady Trojans season came to an end this past Thursday at the hands of conference foe, Glenbard South.  The final score ended up being 43-27, but Timothy did not go lightly.  For the majority of the game, GS held a 6-8 point lead with Timothy finally cutting the deficit to 3 in the 4th quarter.  However, as was much the case all night, TC could not get a bucket to fall.  Glenbard South would finish the game on a 13-0 run (mainly free throws) as the Lady Trojans saw their season slip away.

It was a disappointing game in the fact that the entire team wish we could have shot better, but the fight was tremendous from every individual.  The coaching staff is very proud of the team for never giving in and competing to the very end.  It's always difficult to wrap up a season after a hard loss and this year was no different.

The team graduates five influential Seniors that will be missed.  We thank them for their commitment to the program and their own desire to be winners in this competitive world.  That will be a lasting trait that all of us will admire.  More importantly, the Lord has great things in store for these girls.  With their caring hearts, tender kindness and the willingness to love others, God takes great delight in knowing that His children are serving him in such a positive way.  Thank you Seniors.

The coaches would also like to thank the rest of the team for their time, energy and discipline to get through another long season.  We are extremely thankful to you all for making such a difference in our lives.  Our hope is that you continue to grow in the Lord and may that be a driving force in your years to come.

The team finished 15-12 overall, 9-3 in conference (3rd place finish) and were awarded three All-Conference players: Kelli LeGrand, Stephanie Kuiper and Sara Hodges.  Thank you ladies for a wonderful season!

Regional Championship Tonight!

The Lady Trojans take the court vs. Glenbard South tonight at 7:30pm for the Regional Championship.  The game is being played at Prosser High School which is located at 2148 N Long Ave, Chicago, IL 60639

Timothy Advances

Timothy traveled into the city and took part in the Prosser Regional Semi-Final Game against St. Francis.  These two teams met a week earlier at St. Francis which resulted in a St. Francis win.  Timothy knew what they were getting into and they also knew that they would have to play better to beat a good St. Francis team.

The first quarter was a good start for the Lady Trojans as they took an early 12-6 lead after one quarter of play.  The second quarter saw the lead grow to an 18-8 advantage, but St. Francis closed the half on a 6-0 run to make it 18-14 in Timothy's favor at the half.

The third quarter saw the offenses of both teams play a lot better.  TC scored a total of 12 points and St. Francis scored 14 to make the game even closer heading into the fourth quarter.  With that two point lead, it didn't last long as St. Francis ending up taking a 32-31 lead.  The fourth quarter was a back and forth affair as neither team held much more of a two point lead.  TC would take a four point lead only to see St. Francis come right back and tie it.

The game boiled down to Timothy making some clutch free throws and withstanding a few missed shots to win the game 45-44.

Sara Hodges led the way with 16 points and Stephanie Kuiper had 10.  Brittany Schedit had 6 points while Alexis Hoogendoorn chipped in 5.  Kelli LeGrand had 4pts while Kaylie Pries and Kaitlin Gehrke each had 2pts.

Timothy will now play on Thursday night vs. MSC rival Glenbard South for the Regional Championship.  The game time is set for 7:30pm.  Hope to see you out there cheering the team on!

Go Lady Trojans!!

Timothy defeats Fenton

Timothy traveled up Route 83 on Thursday night to play their final conference game of season against Fenton.  Both teams came out pretty hot in the first quarter as the offense was rolling for both teams.  The second quarter saw more of the same as the game was pretty tight at the half. 

Fenton came out strong in the third quarter and opened up an eight point lead at one point.  A strong finish to end the third quarter had Timothy trailing by three.  The Lady Trojans saved their best for last.  The team outscored the Bison from Fenton by a score of 15-5 to win the game 42-35.

Sara Hodges led the way with 18 points (8-10FT) and to quote Mrs. Scheidt "Sara was playing by herself out there"  Kaylie Pries chipped in 9pts while Kelli LeGrand had 6pts.  Stephanie Kuiper and Mackenzie Bone contributed 4pts (huge play from Mackenzie). 

The team finished conference play with a 9-3 record and guaranteed themselves a top three finish.  Nice job ladies!
