BMO Harris Bank replaces appliances used by people with disabilities BMO Harris Bank has donated $8,000 to Ray Graham Association (RGA) for its Appliance Project, which aims to replace appliances throughout the year in its 23 community-based homes for people with disabilities throughout DuPage County.

The homes provide a safe and welcoming place for nearly 150 adults with disabilities.

Each year, appliances including refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, freezers, washers and dryers endure endless wear and tear and must be replaced. In an average year, RGA spends over $25,000 replacing appliances.

Funding for these appliances is not covered by any other funding source and RGA must rely on donations to cover this cost.

“BMO Harris has been a strong supporter not only of RGA, but also of other community-based agencies. They are incredible advocates of local philanthropy,” said Lorri Nagle, Chief Development Officer.

Last year BMO Harris Bank donated $8,000 to purchase a Smart Board for RGA’s Community Learning Center located in Burr Ridge. The addition of the technology has helped people with disabilities stay current on news, navigate through the community and identify activities and attractions for people to participate in locally.

Government funding only provides 77% of RGA’s costs to care for people with disabilities. The non-profit must raise over 1.5 million dollars each year to provide safe housing, employment opportunities, participation in community-based activities, and more in its five service divisions: residential, employment, life skills, recreational and family support.

Montini Catholic announces retirement of head football coach

“

In Greek times when a person died, there was never an obituary, they simply asked ‘did he/she live their life with passion?’ Montini is my passion!”

– Chris Andriano Montini Catholic High School football coach

Chris Andriano steps down after career record 300 wins

Montini Catholic High School in Lombard, home of the six-time State Champion Bronco football team, has announced the retirement of Football Head Coach Chris Andriano.

Recently honored by students and staff for his historic achievement of 300 career game wins, Coach Andriano announced his retirement during Montini’s 2016 End-OfSeason Football Banquet on Sunday evening, November 20.

His accumulated record of 300 wins, while leading the Broncos to 10 conference championships, made for an accomplished career.

His 300th game was celebrated on October 28, after his Broncos defeated St. Ignatius’ Wolfpack during Round 1 of the IHSA 6A Playoffs.

The ninth coach to reach the 300th win level in the state of Illinois in high school football, Andriano is the only Illinois high school football coach who has won state championships in three different classes Class 4A – 2004; Class 5A 2009, 10, 11 and 12; and, Class 6A in 2015.

Throughout his 43-year career, “Coach A” has been an assistant coach in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. He also served as the moderator of the Hockey Team in the late 90s. He was named the Broncos’ second head football coach in 1979. (Jim Kavanaugh served the position from 1966 through 1978.)

Andriano guided the school to its first IHSA State Playoff in 1981, a season that resulted in an appearance in the state quarterfinals. After three trips to the semis that came up short, the 2004 Broncos reached the State Championship game and defeated Coal City to win their firstever football State Champions.

Montini Catholic has qualified for the post season 28 times including a current streak of 23 seasons consecutively that began in 1993.

Coach Andriano was inducted into the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2001.

He was honored as one of three recipients of Montini Catholic’s Leadership Award at the school’s 50th Anniversary celebration in

June of this year and received Millikin University’s Excellence in Life Award in 2015. The award was presented by Montini (‘86) and Millikan (‘91) alumnus, Tom Mahoney, superintendent of Oregon School District, and is given from Millikin’s Football Alumni Advisory Board to graduates of Millikin who have demonstrated excellence in their professional careers.

“There is no way to count the number of people Coach A has touched. I am a beneficiary of his work,” said Mahoney. “He has a true calling. He has made me a better person.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Chris Andriano for 31 years,” said MC Principal Maryann O’Neill. “When I look at Coach A, I see a role model that any child would be lucky to have in his/her life. He is an excellent teacher and an outstanding coach because he truly cares about our kids. What makes him special is not his strong work ethic or his incredible coaching skills but rather his ability to command respect while inspiring kids to reach their full potential on the field and in life.

“Coach A truly lives the mission of our founder, St. John Baptist de LaSalle - to touch the hearts of every student. He has touched many, many hearts here at Montini.”

“On behalf of the entire Bronco Football Program, we want to thank Coach Andriano for all of his dedication and service to the Montini community for the past 43 years,” said Coach Michael Bukovsky. “Current and future Broncos will still be challenged to live up to Coach Andriano’s ‘Team First’ philosophy and ‘Never Say Die’ attitude! Personally I know he is looking forward to spending time with his family and doing some serious fishing!”

“Chris has led our teams to great victories and heartbreaking defeats,” said MC President Jim Segredo. “But, more importantly, in the process he has greatly impacted the lives of many students and athletes throughout an incredible span of five decades.”

In 2015, upon accepting the Millikin Award in front of Montini’s entire student body, Andriano spoke words, which he said have become his mantra.

“In Greek times when a person died, there was never an obituary, they simply asked ‘Did he/she live their life with passion?” he said.

“Montini is my passion!”

Community capsules What’s happening at Villa Park Village Hall

By Paul DelGuidice FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

• The Villa Park Board of Trustees meeting held at Village Hall on Monday, November 14, 2016 began with a discussion of a strategy to refinance bonds tied to the North Ave. TIF District (TIF #3). The Village is experiencing a shortfall in debt payments for nearly $3 million in such bonds. The TIF #3 bonds were issued in 2008 with the incremental increases in TIF funds being used to pay off the bond debt. However, the TIF is not generating enough revenue to service that debt.

Village Finance Manager Kevin Wachtel presented the plan. The strategy involves issuing alternate revenue bonds (ARB), which will be paid off with property tax revenue. ARBs in the amount of approximately $3 million would be issued to pay off the outstanding debt certificates (currently tied to the TIF #3). According to Wachtel, this plan was developed to keep all property tax-supported debt at a flat amount.

Property tax payers would not see an increase in property tax to pay off these obligations.

“We would replace the bonds that are expiring with ‘roll-over bonds,’” he said.

The bond money would then be used to pay off the ARBs. This would also generate some excess

funds to be used for equipment replacement, or other needs. Additionally, the Village would get a break on interest rates.

When the debt bonds were issued, the interest rate was more than 4%.

New bonds would carry lower interest rates of around 3%.

• During the Village President’s Report section of Monday’s meeting, President Deborah Bullwinkel asked about the status of the Village’s street sweeper. According to Village Manager Richard Keehner, the sweeper completes two routes per week, but is especially slowed down at this time of year due to fallen leaves. Keehner asked residents not to rake leaves into the street but to bag them for pick up.

• During the Formal Agenda portion of Monday’s meeting, the Board voted unanimously to approve nine items on the Consent Agenda. These items were: a) Village Bill Listing dated November 7, 2016, in the amount of $866,760; b) Bill Listing dated November 14, 2016, in the amount of $131,782; c) Minutes from the Village Committee of the Whole meeting for October 24, 2016; d) Minutes from the Village Formal Board meeting for October 24, 2016. e) A resolution estimating the tax levy for 2016 in the amount of $9,396,464, a 2.6% increase in total revenue from last year. This reflects

an increase in the tax of 0.7% -- the maximum allowed for non-home rule communities. This resolution is required for compliance with the Truth in Taxation Law. A public hearing on the tax levy will be held on Dec. 5. Final adoption of the tax levy is scheduled for Dec. 19. f) A resolution opposing any advancement of Senate Bill 2785, Known as the Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act. According to Keehner, the Village is against this Act because it would limit local authority and “virtually eliminate the ability of cities, villages, incorporated towns, townships and counties to regulate the location and installation of small wireless equipment within their jurisdictions, thereby posing a threat to public safety.” If passed, the Act would allow wireless carriers such as Verizon to place small cell towers anywhere they deemed necessary without Village approval, Keehner said. g) A resolution authorizing change order #1 (Final) to the contract between Villa Park and Orange Crush, LLC for the 2016 North Princeton Ave. improvement project. The change is a deduction of $66,670 for a final contract amount of $932,228. h) A resolution authorizing an engineering services agreement with Civiltech Engineering, Inc. for the 2017 street improvements.

This agreement would be for Phase II design at a cost not to exceed $181,955. i) The First and Final reading of

an ordinance amending the number of members of the Historical Preservation Commission (HPC). The HPC recently agreed to reduce the number of commissioners from seven to five. This change would allow the HPC to hold a formal meeting and have a quorum.

• Villa Park resident Mike Orlowski addressed the Board of Trustees during the public comments on non-agenda items portion of Monday’s meeting. He thanked the Board for sending out a letter informing him the sewers on his street were on the schedule for repairs.

• Ben Silver, a community lawyer from the Citizen’s Advocacy Center in Elmhurst, updated the Board of Trustees on two separate residents who are currently facing “thousands of dollars” in fees for unpaid water bills from several years before, including some months in which the water was ‘not properly metered.’

According to Silver, the water bills date back six years and the Village has no formal procedures for appealing the situation. He said the hearing process was “unclear” and the residents were being “strong-armed” by the Village to collect these fees.

Village Manager Richard Keehner responded that the water meters in question had reportedly been tampered with and there were allowances for hearings in such a situation.

• Village Manager Richard Keehner addressed the residents of

Villa Park about the failure of the Sales Tax Revenue increase ballot question on the Nov. 8 election. According to Keehner, if the question were to be submitted for the upcoming April election, the effect would be the same, i.e. generating revenue to support bond issues to fund sewer and water main separation, repairs and replacement. This funding source was identified by the Village as an option because the proposed one-cent sales tax increase would be paid for in large part by shoppers from outside of the community.

Environmental Commission urges oil recycling for biodiesel

SCARCE installs permanent receptacle at Salt Creek sanitation district

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE VILLA PARK INDEPENDENT

The Villa Park Environmental Concerns Commission is always looking for ways to encourage residents to reuse, repurpose and recycle and that includes cooking oil.

Now, thanks to a grant from the DuPage Community Foundation, the School and Community Assistance for Recycling and Composting Education (SCARCE) has provided a permanent receptacle at Villa Park’s Salt Creek Sanitary District, making it one of seven permanent cooking oil collection sites in the area.

Used cooking oil can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 201 Illinois Rte. 83 in Villa Park. Entrance can be accessed from northbound Rte. 83.

Villa Park plans to participate

again this year in the Thanksgiving weekend Cooking Oil Collection Day on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Villa Park Village Hall parking lot, 20 S. Ardmore Ave. The collected oil will be recycled into biodiesel. Bring cooking oil in a container that can be left behind.

Only liquid cooking oil will be collected. No solid fats such as bacon grease or motor oil will be collected at this event. Cooking oil can clog pipes and breakage in homes and streets. It also pollutes local bodies COURTESY PHOTO Villa Park Independent of water.

Modern Mexican restaurant opens in Oakbrook Terrace En Fuego Mexican Grille features Los Caballos Cantina

By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT

Joe Fernandez Jr. has launched a new Modern Mexican restaurant called En Fuego Mexican Grille in Oakbrook Terrace, premiering a fresh twist on classic Mexican dishes along with handcrafted margaritas and specialty drinks.

“We’re excited to bring something all new to Oakbrook Terrace, “ said Fernandez. “From our traditional guacamole, fresh ceviche, original crafted tacos, sizzling fajitas, enchiladas and our carne asada... everything is made fresh daily and you will taste the difference.”

The restaurant’s design, decor and furniture is imported from small villages in Mexico, making it original, warm, inviting and authentic. Original star-shaped light fixtures with colored glass marbles in the Cantina shine brightly above, while in the dining room, woven baskets that are actually used in Mexico for fishing have been turned into light fixtures.

Vibrant paintings adorn the walls, originally created by famous Mexican painter David Villasenor.

“A private dining area features a warm space that glows in soft light with seating up to 14 people and audio visual needs for private meet-

ing,” Fernandez added. “You will think that you are in someone’s home in Mexico - it is THAT authentic.”

En Fuego Mexican Grille also features the all-new Los Caballos Cantina, a true to life casual and comfortable space.

Featuring more than 60 tequilas, imported Mexican beers, specialty wines from Mexico, Spain and South America and, of course, margaritas made with the owner’s very own El Nacimiento Tequila, it’s a perfect place to watch a sporting event or even bet the horse races.

Video poker machines will arrive in December for even more gaming entertainment. Los Caballos Cantina hosts a Happy Hour Monday thru Friday from 4-6 p.m.

En Fuego is introducing its version of Modern Mexican food to expand guests’ horizons with unique and original flavors.

The restaurant is located at 17W648 22nd Street at the corner of 22nd and Midwest Road in Oakbrook Terrace. Hours are Monday - Thursday 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. – 12 midnight, and Sunday 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.

Addison Trail boys basketball team optimistic about season Veterans Williams, Noel and Kalbas return to lead Blazers

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

Experience in sports is a valuable commodity.

The Addison Trail boys basketball team has that experience in triplicate this year in the form of returning seniors Michael Williams, Colten Noel and Jack Kalbas.

Williams is a 6-5 guard-forward, while Noel is a 6-6 F-C and Kalbas is a 5-10 senior guard. Noel will continue his basketball career next season at Goshen College in Indiana.

“We will lean on those three a little bit,” said Addison Trail coach Brendan Lyons. “But we’re looking for contributions from other guys. Michael has blossomed this year. He’s developed an outside game and has become more balanced.

Also back are seniors Bobby Daniels (6-1, G) and Stevan Jones (6-3, F). “Those are a pair of football guys who are back in the mix,” said Lyons. “Colten has a bigger presence in the post and has diversified his game.

For his size and weight he’s pretty athletic. He’ll be able to play about the rim. Jack is a good shooter who can extend us more from the 3-point line. He qualified for the state 3-point contest last year. We’re hoping he continues to build on the diversity of his game and continues to take the ball to the basket. Those three guys averaged about 27 or 28 points combined last year. I’d like that balance to continue. They are key to what we do.”

However, Lyons said there are many more components to the team.

“We anticipate probably going 10-12 deep with guys in the rotation during Thanksgiving,” he said.

Other contributors include Eric Lynch (6-0, G, Sr.), Cyril Mathew

Outlook bright for Willowbrook girls bowling team Jonrath scores 15 points for Warriors

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Willowbrook girls bowling team is ready to take the next step.

The Warriors are coming off a season where they went 2-7 in West Suburban Conference Gold Division action, but return a trio of key bowlers.

Back from last year are Dana Sasenick and Katie Pettinger. Both bowlers qualified for sectionals last winter. Sasenick is a junior and Pettinger is a sophomore.

“Dana and Katie both performed very well at sectionals, but came up a little short at going to state,” said Willowbrook coach Kevin Allen.

Willowbrook also welcomes back senior Jordan Tiberi who is coming back from injury.

“With Katie and Dana returning and with Jordan coming back from injury, we look to have a very good season,” said Allen.

Freshman Makayla Jones also will help the team. “Makayla is a new bowler to Willowbrook, but not new to the sport,” said Allen.

“She will be a strong addition to the team this year.”

Sophomore Holly Helsper also will be a key contributor.

“This season we should be keeping an eye on Jordan Dana, Katie, Holly and Makayla having great seasons,” said Allen. “Our team is full of young talented bowlers who are developing their skills on a daily basis. The future looks bright. We are looking to have a great year and be at the top of the conference.”

Willowbrook kicks off action in an invitational on Saturday and will take part in the Willowbrook quad on Nov. 29. The Warriors open conference play against Downers Grove South on Dec. 6.

Willowbrook girls basketball The Willowbrook girls basketball team dropped a recent 50-29 contest to Glenbard North.

Willowbrook trailed 10-2 after the first quarter and 27-12 at halftime. The Warriors outscored Glenbard North 8-7 in the fourth quarter.

Hanna Jonrath led the Warriors with 15 points. She made two 3-pointers and had three steals. Cecilla Lizasuain added six points.

Grace Chantos pulled down seven rebounds. Sara Fitzgibbon made a 3-pointer. Chantos also had three assists and three steals.

(5-10, G, Sr.), Adem Mehmeti (6-3, G, Soph.) and junior Mike Pudlo (63, F, Jr.).

“Eric and Cyril are both perimeter guys and we’ll bank on their experience on the JV last year and look forward to them contributing,” said Lyons. “We anticipate Adem will play a lot and Mike Pudlo has gotten better.

Between those nine guys and several others, we have a lot of depth and options to sort through.”

Lyons said he’s confident about the team’s offensive prospects, but cautions the Blazers must continue to work on the defensive end.

“I feel really good about the offense. It’s ahead of the defense right now,” he said. “We have guys who can score. We’ll be fine on offense.

We’ve been stressing the defensive

end. We were a little disappointed with that at the end of summer. It’s a focal point in what we’ve been doing. If we are consistent and can compete at that end I feel like a lot of good things can happen here and we will continue to build on our recent success we’ve had here the last three years. Both ends of the floor are very important and defense more so. If you have a bad offensive game you can still win if you play good defense. Our goal is to hold teams to 50 points a game. Two years ago we held teams to 45 and we won 15 games. Last year we gave up 52 or 53 points and won 14. That’s a huge difference.”

Lyons said Downers Grove South will again be a team to watch in the West Suburban Conference Gold

Division. “They have almost everybody back,” he said. “Willowbrook should be really good. They were young last year. And then you have the usual with Morton, Proviso East, Hinsdale South and Leyden. All the teams are competitive. There are no easy games in there and you have to play 12 of them. If we don’t come to play, we’re going to find ourselves on the back end of the conference. We have the depth here. Now we have to push ourselves on both ends of the floor. If we are able to master things on both ends of the floor, it’s realistic we could have 17-plus wins here.”

Addison Trail opened the season earlier in the week at the Elmwood Park tournament. The Blazers are in search of their third tournament title in a row there.

IC Catholic Prep football team defeats Monticello to reach Class 3A state title game; Rowell rushes for 302 yards

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It’s on to Champaign.

The IC Catholic Prep football team defeated Monticello 48-6 in a Class 3A state semifinal football game played on Saturday, Nov. 19 in Monticello.

The victory sends unbeaten IC Catholic Prep (13-0) to the Class 3A state-championship game Friday at 4 p.m. against Carlinville. The game will be televised live on CSN Chicago.

The Knights are looking for their third state championship since 2002.

The 2002 team went 13-1 and won the title under coach Bob Cozzi, while the 2008 team went 10-4 and won the title under coach Bill Schmidt. The Knights reached the state semifinals last season.

Carlinville is the No. 4 seed on the bottom half of the Class 3A bracket and is 12-1. The Knights are the top seed in the top portion of the bracket.

Carlinville downed No. 3 seed Virden North Mac 27-21 in the other semifinal.

In the win against Monticello, coach Bill Krefft’s Knights turned up the volume on their rushing game to another level. The Knights ran for 516 yards on the ground on 61 carries (8.5 yards per carry).

Northern Illinois University-bound Jordan Rowell ran 31 times for 302 yards (9.7 yards per carry) and scored four touchdowns.

Rowell has now run for 2,025 yards on only 153 carries this season (13.2 yards per carry) and has 34 rushing touchdowns. The Knights have 63 rushing touchdowns this season.

Junior Lazerick Eatman ran 21 times for 160 yards and averaged 7.6 yards per carry. Daniel Gibbons and Jacob Lytton also scored rushing touchdowns.

Luke Ricobene completed seven of 11 passes for 79 yards and one touchdown. Matt Sutton caught a 15-yard touchdown pass, while Khali Sanders had two catches for 12 yards. Brendan Russ had one catch for 18 yards.

Eatman had one catch for 16 yards.

Khalil Saunders had one catch for 11 yards and Luke Calles had a 7-yard catch.

The Knights needed to make only 49 tackles in the game. Chris Johnson had nine tackles. Jim Kenneally and Kemon Reese each had six tackles.

Eatman had four tackles.

Ryan Malek and Sutton each had an interception. Eatman and Rowell each had pass deflections and Johnson and Saunders each had a fumble recovery.

Sam Buffo kicked six extra points.

Illinois Chamber opposes business tax increases

By Dee Longfellow

FOR THE INDEPENDENT

The Illinois Chamber of Commerce recently issued a release saying it was working in opposition to an Amendment to HB293, which is could increase taxes on employers throughout the state of Illinois by more than $2.5 billion. On the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. 15, the House Revenue Committee held a hearing on House Amendment 1 to HB 293.

Keith Staats, executive director of the Illinois Chamber’s Tax Institute, spoke in opposition to the amendment at the hearing.

According to the release, the amendment consists of a series of changes to the Illinois Income Tax Act, sales tax laws, and the estate tax, which will impose new financial burdens to busi-

nesses in Illinois.

According to Staats, the amendment provisions include: increasing the corporate income tax rate to 6%; eliminating the rolling stock exemption from the sales tax for purchases of transportation equipment; eliminating the Manufacturing Machinery Equipment Exemption; changing how the income of multistate companies is apportioned to Illinois; decoupling from the federal domestic production activities deduction; and imposing higher income tax burdens on the airline industry.

“All of these examples and many other provisions of the bill would, if adopted, provide incentives for businesses and their employees to leave Illinois and disincentives for Illinois business expansion,” Staats said.

Letter to the editor

Trump voter believes he’s best person for the job This is in response to the recent tone in your paper about our Presidential election results.

There is an implication that we need to “make the best” of the President-elect Donald Trump.

Those of us who voted for Trump, really do believe he’s the best person for the position. Hillary Clinton and her husband have extremely serious, questionable things they’ve done, regarding women and respect for women and many other issues, to be

concerned about.

If we were looking for great character and morals in our candidates, we would vote for no one.

So, we voted for the candidate who supports the policies we believe in.

Thanks for letting me share another viewpoint on this whole issue.

Trump supporters are looking for change, not the same old political garbage that has been going on for too long.

Once again, we want a Government for the People, by the People.

Television: CSN Chicago at 4 p.m.

Seeds: Carlinville is the No. 4 seed on the bottom half of the Class 3A bracket; IC Catholic Prep is the No. 1 seed.

Outlook: The IC Catholic Prep football steamroller stops in Champaign Friday in hopes of claiming the school’s third state football championship.

The Knights have been impressive in their four playoff victories—49-8, 650, 48-14 and 48-6 against teams with a combined 37-5 record at the time they played IC Catholic Prep in the playoffs. Standout running back Jordan Rowell went over the 2,000 rushing yard mark in the semifinal win against Monticello. The Knights are averaging 10.4 yards per carry on the ground and have 63 rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Luke Ricobene had 2,247 passing yards and has thrown 27 touchdown passes. In the takeaways department the Knights have only had nine turnovers and have 38 takeaways for an impressive plus-29. Who is this Carlinville team? The Cavaliers play in the South Central Conference where it finished in a three-way tie for first place.

Its only loss was a 25-23 setback to co-champion Pana in the fourth game of the season. During the regular season, Carlinville played only three teams with winning records and went 2-1. Carlinville has given up 19, 35, 21 and 21 points in their four playoff games. Conversely, IC Catholic Prep hasn’t given up more than two touchdowns in a game in 11 weeks and have held 10 opponents to nine or fewer points. The Knights also haven’t scored fewer than 40 points since the first week of the season when it shutdown Bishop McNamara 34-0.

The Fenton girls volleyball team finished the 2016 season with 13 wins, but coach Kelly Kleidorfer noted improvements spanned well beyond any win-loss ledger.

“Throughout the season we improved in all aspects of the game,” she said. “Our serving improved, our serve-receive took a step forward, our hitting and blocking was much improved and our overall team defense kept getting better. We keep taking steps forward, but just keep coming up a little short looking for that conference win. It’s a very good conference in terms of volleyball and we will keep competing to the best of our abilities.”

Kleidorfer said team chemistry was sky-high this season. “This was a very close team,” she said. “A lot of girls play club together so they are spending a lot of time together outside the school season. The seniors treated the sophomores like they were seniors and it was fun to see each girl puling for the next. Even when times were tough, they did an excellent job of staying together.”

Paulina Milanowski led the team with a 92.7 percent service ratio (318 for 343 serving) with 62 aces. She also had a team-best 162 kills and 277 assists.

Milanowski earned all-Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division

honors and was named the Fenton team MVP. “As people can see by our final stats, Paulina meant a ton to us on the court,” said Kleidorfer. “However, she meant just as much in practice and off the court. She was like another coach. She had such a great feel for what the team needed and never hesitated to call a quick team huddle if things weren’t going well.

Her skill set speaks for itself. Very few girls will lead their team in as many statistical categories as she did for us. There was not one team we played where Paulina wouldn’t have been a starter on that team. She could have set for most teams that needed a setter. She could have hit for teams that needed a hitter and she could have played libero for teams that needed defense. She is playing club right now and has been talking with a few different colleges.”

Vicky Krzyszkowski led the team in blocks with 41 and Ashley Lira was tops in digs with 191.

Kleidorfer said the program continues to be headed in the right direction. “We are very excited for the future,” she said. “This group of seniors has set a standard that has been witnessed by the juniors and the sophomores who were with us.

The JV team showed great improvement throughout the season and we are excited about what those girls will give us. On top of that, we have girls coming from the freshman team who will be good players in the future. Fenton volleyball is in a good palce and headed for even better accomplishments in the future.”
