42 | September 28, 2017 | The New Lenox Patriot Sports newlenoxpatriot.com Athlete of the week 10 Questions with Taylor Miron Taylor Miron is a senior at Lincoln-Way Central who is on the girls golf team How did you get started in golf? I started golf when I was about 6 or 7 years old because my parents played and my grandpa played. So I started going out with them. From that point, I started group lessons, and then I started continued onto private lessons more seriously in seventh grade. Do you have any rituals or superstitions on the course? Whenever I know I’m about to go out and play, when I’m on the range warming up before, on my last shots I like to hit three drivers because usually you start off with a driver on the course, so I want my last shots on the range to mimic my next shots on the course. What are your plans for college? I am currently in the application process now. I’m looking at about 10 schools and I love all of them. So, I’m just trying to figure out what would fit best for me academically … I’m looking to study something in the health sciences because in the future I’d like to continue on the physician’s assistant school. What do you like most about the game? Whether it’s in high school or practicing on my own in the summer, is the amount of people you get to meet. You get to learn how different people play and their techniques, and I think that’s helped me. What’s the hardest part of the game? The hardest part for me is the mental part of the game. When you hit a bad shot, you can’t let it get to you. You really have to work on your mentality and moving forward so that you can have success going on in your round. What would you buy first if you won the lottery? I would probably buy a plane ticket for me Photo submitted and my family to go around all of Europe. What’s your ideal post-round meal? A cheeseburger, some french fries and an Arnold Palmer. What item do you own that you couldn’t live without? For my golf game, my range finder, because that helps me with my every single shot, whether it’s drives or wedge shots, I always use my range finder. Who would be on your dream foursome for a scramble? Me, Rory McIlroy because he’s always been my favorite golfer, my grandpa because I’ve always loved playing golf with him and my swing coach Mike, who I’ve been getting private lessons from for three years. Do you have a nickname? My parents and some of my immediate family call me Rosie because my middle name is Rose, named after one of my grandmas. Interview by T.J.

But sophomore defender Jacob Dirienzo saw his arching shot from about 40 yards land into Kedzior’s hands. The final moments got a bit chippy with a couple of yellow cards issued in the final 30 seconds. Fahey credited his sophomore starters: midfielder Jake Camaioni, Kedzior, defender Dylan Leonard and Willner. He also credited the play of his defense with senior Josh Davis and Erickson in the center and Leonard and Zuraitis are the outside players in the back. “We’ve got a bunch of young kids out there making plays,” Fahey said. “We have four sophomores out there contributing. We’ve also been fortunate that we’ve had two goalies alternate the spot [junior Brenden McCarthy is the other one].

The Knights haven’t won a SWSC title since they captured the first three between 2005-07 when the league was combined. “It’s still a big game,” Willner said of facing East. “We’re 7-2 [through Sept. 20] and we [were] ready for Lockport [on Sept. 21] and the title game in the PepsiCo Tournament [on Sept. 24]. We’ve played really well and we’re ready.” Both teams are in the Class 3A Reavis Sectional, which begins next month.
