Trojans Capture Lisle Thanksgiving Championship!!

Congratulations to the Trojans from Timothy Christian for winning the Lisle Thanksgiving Championship! They beat Montini, Team Englewood, Chicago Perspectives, and then Lisle in the championship contest.

On Friday night the Trojans played against Chicago Perspectives Charter and their 6'8 center Anthony Davis. Although Davis ended the night with 41 pts (18 in the fourth quarter), the Trojans were able to keep control most of the game and prevail 80-61. Contributions came from all players and they were led by Justin Peeples (18 pts, 3 assists) and Reggie Greenwood.

Reggie finished the game with 24 pts, 9 assists, 6 steals, and 5 rebounds for a real strong all around game. Mike Pizzello and Rob Stein contributed 6 rebounds and Mark Penczak (8 pts, 4 rebs.), Matt Morrison (9 pts, 6 rebs), Chad Vos (6 pts), and Troy Ellens (5 pts, 3 rebs, 4 stls) all played key roles.

Saturday night was against the 3-0 Lisle Lions for the tournament championship. This game was a good test for the team as the teams battled back and forth and the Trojans were unable to shake the Lions from Lisle until the final score of 62-45.

Overall strong play tonight as Rob Stein (17 pts, 11 rebs), Justin Peeples (17 pts, 4 stls, 3 rebs), and Reggie Greenwood (11 pts, 7 rebs, 4 stls, 9 assists), Mark Penczak (10 pts, 2 rebs) and Mike Pizzello (2 pts, 2 stls, 2 rebs, 2 assists) all gave strong contributions to secure the championship.

Coach LeGrand was very pleased with the play of the Trojans in the young season capturing the championship. The entire team has been working hard together and did a very good job. We have identified some items we need to keep working on to get better, but overall did a good job in this tournament.

Reggie Greenwood, Justin Peeples, and Rob Stein were selected on the all-tournament teams. Good job guys and well deserved!

The Trojans have a tough schedule coming up. We are home on Tuesday night vs. Immaculate Conception and home on Friday against Illiana Christian.

Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans!

Trojans Earn 2nd Victory in Lisle Tourney

The men from Timothy earned their second victory last night at the Lisle Thanksgiving tourney. They defeated Team Englewood 61-39. The first quarter was a tight game with the Trojans leading at the end of the first 8 minutes 14-13. The defense tightened and Team Englewood cooled off a bit from the outside to send the Trojans into half-time with a 30-17 lead. The second half would be much of the same as the Trojans never looked back.

The Trojans received a strong game from seniors Justin Peeples and Rob Stein. Justin Peeples ended the game with 21 pts and 5 rebounds. Rob Stein registered his first double double of the season with by scoring 11 pts and grabbing 14 rebounds. Junior Chad Vos and Sophomore Matt Morrison came off the bench with strong contributions. Chad had 9 pts, 5 rebounds and played solid defense. Matt also gave an energy spark with 7 rebounds to go along with 6 pts.

We were a little sloppy at times with poor passing (17 turnovers) and poor free throw shooting (10-22), but still showed the resolve needed to get the job done.

The next game for the Trojans will be at the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament on Friday night at 7:30 vs. Perspectives.

We really appreciated all the support last night. Please keep coming out to support the Trojans.

Trojans win opener at Lisle

Monday night was the opening of the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament. The Trojans began a little tight and cold from the field scoring only 4 points in the first 6:30 seconds. They ended the quarter on a 10-0 run turning a 4-8 deficit into a 14-8 lead at the quarter. They never looked back from that point winning the opening round game vs Montini by a score of 74-38.

There were good contributions from the entire team. The defensive effort in the 3rd quarter especially was very good as the Trojans held the Broncos to 4 pts. Leading the way for the Trojans while battling a sprained ankle was Reggie Greenwood (18pts, 6 rebs, 3 stls, & 4 assists), and Robert Stein (16 pts, 5 rebs.). Justin Peeples (8 pts, 3 stls, 2 assists), Mike Pizzello (5 rebs, 3 stls, 3 assists), and Mark Penczak (7 pts, 5 rebs,) had strong games as well.

Solid contributions came from others as well. Donte' Williams pulled in 4 rebounds to go along with 4 pts. Sophomore Matt Morrison saw his first varsity action and chipped in with 4 pts and 4 boards. Chad Vos (4 pts, 3 rebs.), Troy Ellens (4 pts), Nathan Boot (3 pts), Daihee Cho (4 pts,), Jon Penczak, and Nate Ziegler all saw time on the varsity floor and contributed to the victory.

Overall, it was a good beginning. It was good to get a game under our belts and keep processing areas where we need to keep improving. Thank you for your support!

Please keep coming out and supporting the Trojans.

The next game is Wednesday at Lisle at 7:30 pm vs Team Englewood.
