Holland Trip Information

Our morning shoot-a-round has been changed to 9:15-10:00am. The reason for the change in times is to allow for more time in our travel to Holland, MI.

The bus will be leaving at 11:00am and we will be stopping on our way for a bite to eat. Once we arrive in Holland we will get settled for our game at 6:00pm. There may be some time for us to get a light snack before the game, but make sure you bring some food for the bus ride...just in case!

There will be a bus(s) going home after the guy's game if you decide not to stay overnight. The bus will hopefully be back around midnight Chicago time.

Timothy shuts down Westminster!!

The Lady Trojans rang in the New Year in grand fashion this evening by beating Westminster Christian 72-12. With a concentrated effort from the get go, coupled with some hot shooting the Lady Trojans put the peddle to the medal. With several girls contributing on the night, it was a good game for a lot of players to play some big minutes and be successful. Timothy was led in scoring by Meghan Leach, 16 points, followed by Anneke Stremler with 13, Liz Powers with 12 and Shannon McNeil with 9. Katie Dirkse put in 6 points, 6 steals, 3 assists and Kari LeGrand dished out 7 assists. Maggie VanderWoude led the way in rebounding with 5. Needless to say, the Lady Trojans took care of business tonight! The Lady Trojans now travel to Holland, MI on Saturday to play against a very good Holland Christian team. The Lady Trojans will be playing the game at Hope College's DeVos Fieldhouse. Game time is set for 6:00pm followed by the Boys Varsity at 7:30pm. If you can make the trip, we would love your support!!

"most valuable baller" goes to Liz Powers. Great shooting tonight Liz!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We made it to another year, yeah!!! 2008 was a good year for a lot of reasons, especially the way we ended it. Let us begin 2009 with that same intensity and expect good things from ourselves and this team.

A couple of announcements:

*There will be two optional shoot-a-arounds on Friday and Saturday for any of you who would like to come in and get a workout in. Both workouts will be geared towards individual development. Individual moves, shooting, footwork, ball-handling,etc.

*The time of the shoot-a-rounds will be 12:00-1:30pm on both days! If you want to come in early like 8:30-10:00am(Friday only) I am flexible with that. So, in essence I am giving you two time slots to pick from to accommodate your busy schedules:-)

*Please let me know what time slot you are coming too. Call, text, email, drive-bye, do whatever, but let me know because there is no need for me to be at the gym at 8:30am if know one is going to show up:-)

**Reminder about our Christmas/New Year Party: we are meeting at Lombard Roller Rink at 7:30pm. After skating we will be heading back to my place for goodies, games and white elephant exchange. Make sure you bring a gift to exchange. Looking forward to a great time!
