Timberline’s players are focused on the game and shoot for the stars. Being passionate about a sport drives improvement and creates a big connection to the game and the other people involved.
This year, we have an amazing group of varsity athletes for both sports. Both teams are family-like and close at games, practices, and even activities outside of basketball. Team sports like these bring all the players closer together, building a bond that’ll last a lifetime.

Success in sports requires focus and dedication. Athletes must commit themselves physically and mentally to reach their goals, pushing through challenges and hard times. Dedication means getting through the rough games and practices, whether it’s learning new skills, fitness, or tactics. Staying focused leads to athletes performing their best. It’s a combination of discipline and mental clarity that drives athletes to perform better but also grows resilience and shapes individuals both in and out of their sport. If they are truly passionate about this line then they’ll make the effort to improve and learn. Doing well in a sport requires so much dedication and love for it to keep your performance up.
Danali Aggarwal (Sr.) looking for the pass.
Team sports like these lead to lifelong friendships. In the end, it’s not about winning or losing the games it’s about the friends you make while playing. These people are like your family during the season. Games, practices, and even going out of their way to hang out outside of the sports events to hangout. Many of these people met playing the sport and became such good friends by doing it. Sports just have a unique way of bonding people and leading to such good and healthy relationships between many people.
