Rob McGivney all-tournament at Lisle Thanksgiving tournament

Congratulations to Robert McGivney who was selected to the all-tournament team at the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament. Congrats Rob !

Trojans end Tourney with a victory vs Lisle.

The Trojans competed on Friday and Saturday at the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament. On Friday night, the Trojans struggled to stay with eventual champion Chicago University High and lost 50-28. We struggled getting into any type of flow offensively and it was the type of game that the Trojans will use to become a better team as the season progresses.

On Saturday night, the Trojans finished the tournament against the host Lisle Lions. Timothy came out with the energy and intensity that was lacking the previous night and won the game 66-41. The game saw Timothy get out to a lead of 16-11 at the quarter and grew to 31-16 at the half. The Trojans had a very strong night defensively and also were very balanced on the offensive end. Robert McGivney (14 pts, 10 reb,), Joey Davidson (16 pts, 5 reb,), Joe Bishop (10 pts, 4 reb, 3 assists,3 stls), and Riley Chapman (11 pts, 3 assists, 2 rebs, 2 stls) all scored in double figures on the night. Ben Lodewyk (4 pts, 4 stls, 3 assists,2 rebs)and Mitch Evenhouse (4 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assists, 1 stl) had strong floor games. Everyone on the team was able to get some floor time. Joe Bootsma (4 pts, 1 reb), Josh Caver (2 pts, 1 reb, 1 stl, 1 assist), Tyler LeGrand (1 pt, 1 reb), Kollin Kaczynski (1 reb, 1 assist),Jared Rhiner (1 assist), and Brett Kwasigroch (1 reb) all cracked the scoresheet on the night.

The Trojans have a busy week and will begin conference play Wednesday at Walther Christian at 7:30 pm. They will then play Illiana Christian at home on Friday at 7:30 pm and Saturday at home vs Westmont at 7:00 pm.

Please come out and support the Trojans!

Trojans drop opener at Lisle

The Timothy Christian Trojans started their season on Tuesday night at the Lisle Thanksgiving tournament vs. Chicago Perspectives. They lost a hard fought contest 58-51. The first quarter saw both teams trading some early baskets but at the quarter Timothy was down 13-8. During the 2nd quarter the Trojans were able to get in a nice rhythm and outscore Perspectives 17-10 to lead at the half 25-23. During the 2nd half both teams once again traded possessions and Perspectives was up 43-39 going into the final stanza. During the 4th quarter, the Trojans were able to battle back and finally take the lead with 1:53 to play 51-50 when Ben Lodewyk hit a 3 from the top of the key. The lead was short lived as a Perspectives player was fouled going to the basket. He made the first free throw and then they got possession on a rebound off the missed 2nd free throw and were able to score to take the lead. Timothy had a couple of opportunities down the stretch but were not able to capitalize.
The Trojans were led by Robert McGivney (14 pts, 8 rebs, 2 blks, 2 stls), Ben Lodewyk (14 pts, 8 rebs, 2 stls), Joe Bishop (5 pts, 5 assists, 4 rebs,3 stls), Riley Chapman (6 pts, 2 rebs,) and Joe Davidson (9 pts, 3 rebs). Mitch Evenhouse (1 reb, 1 assist), provided a strong energy boost off the bench. Josh Caver (1 pt, 3 assists,) and Jared Rhiner (2 pts, 1 reb) also got their first taste of varsity action. It was a tough opening night loss but the Trojans will continue to build off this game as they continue to get better this season. The next game is Friday night at Lisle at 6:00 pm. Please come out and support the Trojans.
