If it's you and her in the 79th minute...

That's one of the best quotes of the year - "If it's you and her in the 79th minute- good luck!" But that's exactly how Stagg coach Mike Kealy feels about junior forward Theresa Coverick.

"She is a three-year varsity player that has been stellar throughout the season," Kealy said. "This past week, she scored the game winner against Andrew, hitting a left-footed bender to the far side of the net. On Wednesday night, she had a hat trick and an assist in 30 minutes of play against Bolingbrook. The move from outside midfielder to forward has sparked our attack the second half of the season. She is an all-around great young lady, who has been a model of consistency. She's a competitor, who leads by example during both practice and matches. What separates Theresa from other players is her competitive fire, as well as her extremely high level of fitness."

The standout honors student-athlete also is a member of the Stagg girls cross country team that finished 11th in the 3A state meet last fall.
