Timothy Christian

Coach: Ryan DeKoekkoek

Last year: 12-15, 5-5 in Metro Suburban Conference; lost to Immaculate Conception 57-38 in Class 2A Immaculate Conception regional semifinal.

Top players: Kari LeGrand, sr., G; Jordyn Platt, sr., G; Cassidy Block, jr., G; Anna Wondergem, sr., F; Renata Harris, sr., F.

Scouting report: The pieces are in place for the Trojans to make a run at a winning record and second regional championship in three years. Timothy Christian's three leading scorers -- LeGrand, Platt and Block -- are all back. Block is the Trojans' most versatile player with the ability to take defenders off the dribble, or post up. DeKoekkoek said LeGrand brings "phenomenal leadership." Hard-nosed, competitive Platt brings an intensity that makes other girls step up to the challenge. Bosman at 5-foot-11 played JV last year; the Trojans' tallest player brings a post presence lacking last year. DeKoekkoek hopes his team can crack the top three in a conference that got a little more rugged with the addition of Glenbard South.
