After placing second at conference and holding a score of 8-5-1, the Girls’ Soccer team is ready to take their game to Sectionals next Monday at Lake Central.

  After coaching for 20 years, Coach Valerie Pflum is three games away from her 200th win.

  As hyped as the soccer players are to reaching this achievement for their coach, Coach Pflum sees this achievement more as just a footnote in her coaching history. She has her eyes on a bigger prize once the team takes their win at Sectionals next week and what awaits beyond there.

  “I didn’t start coaching with a ‘wanna-win’ column.  It’s just one of the milestones that coaching organizations keep track of,” Coach Pflum said. “Hitting it will be just another game and we’ll just keep on working. If I won a state title, that would be different.”

  Campbell Gideon, senior, has had Coach Pflum as a soccer coach for seven years. Along with the rest of the team, she’s strong-set on reaching this achievement before the season ends.

 “She’s tough on us, but it’s because she wants the best from us,” Campbell said. “The whole team’s looking forward to her two-hundredth win because it’s such a huge milestone for both her and the team in general.”
