26 | May 11, 2017 | The highland park landmark highland park hplandmark.com MEET SOPHIA I always loved to play with my friends hair when I was younger and it was always interesting to me. That’s why I decided to go to cosmetology school. Doing hair was something I always enjoyed. I like to create natural & healthy looking colors. I specialize in different techniques such as balayage and ombre. I love what I do and I love being part of our team. With each and every service, I want my clients to feel comfortable and at ease when they are in my chair. My education and background has helped me become the colorist I am today. Having my clients leave the salon feeling new and fresh, continues to inspire me everyday. – Sophia / Colorist 2015 • 2016 368 PARK AVENUE • GLENCOE • 847.501.3100 BOOK ONLINE • PASCALPOURELLE.COM
hplandmark.com sports the highland park landmark | May 11, 2017 | 27 Athlete of the Week 10 Questions with Jenny Goldsher Goldsher is a senior catcher on the Highland Park High School softball team. How long have you been playing softball and how did you get started with it? If you count T-ball, I’ve been playing since I was five. I’ve been playing travel since I was seven and currently play for the Lake County Liberty 18U team. Is there one song that you need to listen to in order to get pumped up for a game? I have a really good playlist that I’ve been listening to right now, a lot of G-Eazy and Cage The Elephant. What do you usually eat before a game? Usually I’ll have a bagel with cream cheese or a nice snack to get ready for the game. Who is your favorite professional baseball or softball player? Baseball wise, in the summers I’m No. 31 because of Fergie Jenkins and Greg Maddux and I’ve been taking lessons with Emily Allard, a Chicago Bandits (outfielder) who is fantastic. She’s my new hero. If you could be any animal, what would you choose and why? I would be a horse because my family is really into horse racing and I think it would be awesome. Do you have a favorite book or movie? My favorite movie is “The Heat” with Melissa McCarthy, I love her. My favorite book is “Looking for Alaska.” If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you want to go and why? I was in Italy with the band last spring break and I loved it there; I’d definitely go back. If you were stuck in a time machine that Miroslaw Pomian/22nd Century Media could only travel backwards into the past or forwards into the future, which way would you go? I would definitely say the future because in general I’ve always been the person where I don’t like to dwell on the past. I’m curious to see what the future would be like. What is the best coaching advice you’ve ever received? When you’re not confident, act confident. What’s the most difficult part of playing catcher? Blocking but in general it’s always about responding to failure. You’re constantly battling up and down to be consistent and mentally tough all the time. Interview by Sports Editor Derek Wolff softball From Page 30 fice bunt scored Atchley and Shannon Stowe singled to bring home Delany Weiss. Weiss walked with the bases loaded in the sixth inning to extend the Scouts’ lead to 8-3. Ashley Dueringer pitched a complete game for the Scouts, throwing six scoreless innings after giving up the three runs in the first inning. “I think my pitcher (Dueringer) actually got stronger as the game went on,” Brugioni said. “She was hitting her spots a lot better and getting ahead in the count instead of behind the count. That first inning she fell behind a lot of the batters, so we had to throw a lot of fastballs and they can hit the ball so they hit the ball hard that first inning. We’ve been playing really good defense lately, which has been great, so we’ve not been giving other teams extra outs, which is huge. It shuts down a lot of rallies and we’ve made a lot of good plays.” Highland Park’s Tessa Bojan singled to score Hannah Matthews and Jenny Goldsher and Armani Walker singled to bring home Bojan to give the Giants a 3-0 lead in the first inning. “What went well is we hit the ball and put the ball in play,” Highland Park We’re Your #1 Local Source for everything by New Balance!

They hit the ball much better and we made errors. (Bojan and Walker) are two of our better hitters on our team, so that’s to be expected. We’re struggling with being able to be consistent with that. “On a windy day, when we keep the ball up in the air, it’s going to be much easier for them to catch. We continually talk about how our hitting has to be more than the errors we’re going to commit. Everybody knows softball is a game of errors, so we have to limit ours and be able to hit.” Congratulations to this week’s Athlete of the Week. We’re pleased to be a sponsor of this program.
