Jr Trojans Girls Basketball is revamping the program for 2023 with the goal of better serving the girls in our basketball community. We will now offer families the choice between competitive or developmental programming for North Deanery girls grades 3 - 8.

Developmental Program

Our developmental program is for girls who need or would like to grow their basketball skills. Girls will participate in training sessions on Wednesdays 6:30-7:30 p.m. and Sundays 4:30-6 p.m. starting July 30, 2023 and ending Oct. 11. The last half hour of Sunday will be dedicated to in-house developmental league games. Bishop Chatard Varsity Head Coach Dan Wagner and JV Head Coach Ana Adams will be leading training sessions. Cost is $50 per player.

Our competitive program will participate in the Indiana Youth Basketball League (IYBL) from August 19 - October 15, 2023. Games are played on Saturday evenings at PAC in Westfield, Mojo Sports Complex in Noblesville, or IBA in Indianapolis. Cost for families to attend is about $5 per person. Girls are encouraged to attend at least one of the developmental training sessions aside from their regular team practice which will be determined by their coaches. Cost is $150 per player and includes a warm-up and uniform.

Sectional Recap

The Lady Trojans advanced to the championship game vs Heritage Christian by an overtime win vs Guerin Catholic, 45 - 43 and a 33-32 win over Brebeuf Jesuit.

The game vs Heritage Christian (17-8) was a barn-burner. The two teams met during the regular season, where BCHS lost 62-55 and the City Tourney, where BCHS lost 52-36. But, the Lady Trojans prevailed in the sectional championship matchup, 61-57, in a double overtime win.
