Two conference wins for the Trojans!

Friday night the Trojans traveled to Guerin Prep for their third conference game of the season. After a slow start Timothy found themselves down by 4 points at halftime but battled back in the second half to take a close fought victory 39-33. One highlight of the game was Joe Bishop's overall performance. Joe took it upon himself to lift the team in all aspects of the game by finishing with 18 points, 9 rebounds and a couple steals. Another highlight was the gutsy and hard-nosed effort put forth by the guys coming off the bench (Mitch Evenhouse, Josh Caver, Jared Rhiner) who added the intensity and defensive effort needed. Overall, it was a hard fought and well deserved conference win.

Saturday night Timothy traveled again for another conference game vs. Elmwood Park which proved to be another hard fought close game. The Trojans struggled shooting from the outside and from the charity stripe in the first half which allowed Elmwood Park to stay within shooting distance. After a motivating halftime speech Timothy came out firing in the second half and closed the game out with yet another conference win! The final score was 45-32. Mitch Evenhouse came off the bench with another great performance and led all scorers with 10 points and added8 rebounds and 2 steals. Joey Davidson put together an all-around great game shooting 6-6 from the line with 4 assists, 3 rebounds and a couple of steals.

Timothy Trojans next game is against conference rival Chicago Christian on Saturday Dec. 20 at 5:30 PM.

Timothy loses to Illiana Christian in overtime!

Friday night was the home opener for the 2014-15 Trojans. The gym was packed for a conference contest with undefeated Illiana Christian. The game was a tightly fought contest the entire night. The first quarter saw the Trojans get out to a 6-2 lead. Illiana would gain control and lead at the end of the first quarter 16-11. That lead would grow to 28-20 at the half. The Trojans battled back in the 2nd half and had the lead at the end of the 3rd quarter 35-34. The lead would change hands down the stretch in the 4th quarter and the Trojans would tie the game 44-44 with 15 seconds to play. The Trojans made a strong defensive play and had the ball with a chance to win at the end of regulation but the last shot fell just short.

In the overtime period, Illiana was able to string a couple of baskets to hold off down the stretch and win the game 53-48 in overtime. The game had a very high level of intensity the entire night with guys from both teams diving all over the floor and although the Trojans were on the losing end, they fought valiantly and will learn from this game. I was very proud of the effort expended and we hope this game will help us in the future. The Trojans were led in scoring and rebounding by Robert McGivney who finished with 16 pts and 17 rebounds.
