Downers Grove North Leads the Charge in Girls Basketball, A Complete Team Effort
The Trojans' impressive 22-2 record has earned them a spot among the top teams in Illinois. With wins over several tough opponents like Lyons, Glenbard West, Maine South, and Libertyville, Downers Grove North has proven itself to be a force to be reckoned with.
Junior Campbell Thulin is leading the charge, averaging 14.2 points per game while playing hard on both ends of the floor. However, it's not just Thulin who's making an impact – freshman Eva Yerkovich is also an impressive scorer and rebounder, earning her a coveted offer from Valparaiso University.
In their latest win against York, Northern Michigan recruit Adysen Fanta stepped up in clutch moments, burying two three-pointers to give the Trojans breathing room. This display of teamwork and trust among players is a hallmark of Downers Grove North's defense-first mentality.
"We're going to make you earn baskets," coach Stephan Bolt said. "When we knock down shots and share the ball, we can compete with anybody." The team's stingy defense has been a key factor in their success, making it difficult for opponents to find open shots.
With a strong foundation of individual skill and teamwork, Downers Grove North is poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. As Thulin noted, "This team has the potential to go wherever we want." The Trojans will look to continue their winning ways as they take on Hinsdale Central this Friday.

. I think it's so cool that Eva Yerkovich got an offer from Valparaiso - she must be doing something right 
. And Adysen Fanta stepping up in clutch moments is just amazing 
. The coach's defense-first mentality is definitely paying off, but they're also working on their offense, which shows they're not one-dimensional 
. I'm excited to see how far they'll go in the playoffs - do you guys think they can make a deep run? 
, and Adysen Fanta's clutch three-pointers are giving me LIFE 
. Its not just about Campbell Thulin leading the charge, its about everyone stepping up their game and trusting each other to make big plays. This defense-first mentality is so underrated - its all about making it hard for the other team to score 
. I love how coach Bolt emphasizes sharing the ball and knocking down shots... its like they're a well-oiled machine 
. They're definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs, and I'm hyped to see them take on Hinsdale Central this Friday!
, with everyone contributin' to the win. Junior Campbell Thulin is killin' it, but Eva Yerkovich and Adysen Fanta are no slouches either 
, makin' it tough for opponents to get open shots.
!
they're so well organized and it's amazing to see how every player is working together. Campbell Thulin is like a total rockstar 
. it's really inspiring to see these young athletes develop their skills and support each other 
and that freshman class seems like it's gonna be super special. I'm curious to see how they handle the pressure of being top contenders, can they keep it up? 
this team's got heart and I'm SO HERE FOR IT!!! 
Can't wait to see what they do against Hinsdale Central this Friday 
go Trojans! 
.
. The defense-first mentality from coach Stephan Bolt is so smart, like you don't need a bunch of flashy scorers to win - just solid teamwork 
eva yerkovich is gonna have an amazing college career too, gotta keep an eye on her 
. What's really driving their success? Is it just the privileged suburban bubble they're operating in or is there something more going on? 
meanwhile, global warming keeps ravaging our planet & we're still worried about who's gonna win the state championships 
and have you seen the latest reports on climate change? not exactly a silver lining for the Trojans' basketball season... but hey, at least they've got teamwork going for them 
coach bolt is preaching the importance of defense-first mentality and it's paying off. those players are not only scoring points, but also working together to shut down their opponents' offenses 
let's see those trojans make a deep run in the playoffs 
. I'm hyped for Downers Grove North to take on Hinsdale Central this Friday and crush 'em 
Their defense-first mentality is so smart, making it hard for opponents to score. I'm loving their positive vibes and trust in each other
