Michael Wojtychiw<br />

Sports Editor<br />

Illinois Field Hockey<br />

and Windy City hosted its<br />

second annual Windy City<br />

Field Hockey High School<br />

All-Star Classic Sunday,<br />

Oct. 29, at Northwestern’s<br />

The game, played<br />

one day after Lake Forest’s<br />

2-0 win over North Shore<br />

Country Day in the state title<br />

game, featured 40 players<br />

from 21 high schools.<br />

Lake Forest, North<br />

Shore Country Day, New<br />

Trier and Glenbard West,<br />

the top four teams in the<br />

state, each had four players<br />

representing their<br />

squads during the game.<br />

The game ended in a 1-0<br />

win for the Navy squad on<br />

a goal scored by a player<br />

from Edwardsville High<br />

School, the only school<br />

outside of the Chicagoland<br />

area represented during the<br />

game.<br />

22nd Century Media<br />

was at the game and had an<br />

opportunity to talk to team<br />

members from some of the<br />

local schools.<br />

What they’re saying<br />

“It’s an honor to get selected<br />

to play in the All-<br />

Star game, it gives you<br />

a lot of confidence and<br />

shows that you’re playing<br />

with the best people in the<br />

state. The game is really<br />

fun and gives us a chance<br />

just to show everyone why<br />

we deserve to be there and<br />

our achievements throughout<br />

the season.”<br />

-Anya Kavanagh, LA forward<br />

“Being nominated for<br />

the all-star game was definitely<br />

an honor this year. I<br />

went last year as well and<br />

both years it has definitely<br />

been a competitive game<br />

with great players. I didn’t<br />

know a lot of the girls on<br />

my team so it was fun to<br />

play with different schools<br />

and girls of different ages!<br />

The level of play was very<br />

high and competitive but<br />

fun at the same time, and<br />

I think it elevated all of us<br />

to play with the best in the<br />

state.”<br />

-Xas Morgan, NSCDS midfielder<br />

“This is really cool because<br />

I know that field<br />

hockey, especially at my<br />

school is a pretty young<br />

program, so getting involved<br />

with all these<br />

schools that are more experienced<br />

is cool to be in<br />

the mix with all these talented<br />

players and to have<br />

this opportunity. To play<br />

one last game in this setting,<br />

on this field, is an<br />

honor.”<br />

-Nancy Iden, HP forward<br />

“I think it’s a big honor,<br />

showing that everything<br />

I’ve worked for, with my<br />

team, has helped me to get<br />

a place like this and be able<br />

to showcase everything<br />

I’ve been working on. This<br />

weekend’s been surreal,<br />

it’s been awesome.”<br />

-Cat Nicholson, LF midfielder<br />

“This is great. It’s really<br />

fun to be able to play with<br />

everyone because I only<br />

know like half the girls<br />

and they’re from all over.<br />

That’s fun. Playing on this<br />

field is so great. My high<br />

school plays on grass, so<br />

this is quite a change from<br />

that because it’s faster and<br />

easier to move the ball.<br />

That’s what makes it fun.”<br />

-Izzy Moody, LFA defender<br />

“It’s awesome because<br />

a lot of these girls are my<br />

friends and teammates<br />

from club. We haven’t<br />

played much together because<br />

of high school season,<br />

so it’s fun to reunite.<br />

It used to be a little nerve<br />

wracking playing in games<br />

like these, but I forget I’m<br />

an underclassman and go<br />

out and have fun.”<br />

-MJ McNary, GBS defender
