South's main goal...a state trophy
Vikings returning to glory days... »
« If it's you and her in the 79th minute...

Maine South gained the experience of being in the state quarterfinals a year ago. Now the question is if the Hawks can return?

I say yes and here's why - Jenna Shemky and Gabby Whittinghill. If this duo plays to its potiental in the postseason, Maine South will be back at North Central College battling one of the area's top programs in this year's quarterfinals.

The sophomore Shemky has 20 goals and four assists, while Whittinghill has 12 goals and 14 assists.

"Despite fighting through a hamstring injury, Jenna still has proven dangerous scoring against Glenbrook South and Evanston of late," Maine South coach JJ Crawford said. "She has a burst that can put her in scoring positions at key moments of the match. As for Gabby, making the switch from midfield to forward has proven a success. She always finds a way to get a head on the ball."

Agree that they are two dangerous forwards. Like the way they play. Shemksy plays very mature for a sophomore (or any age for that matter)

Whittinghill I was impressed with the way she would find or create space for herself.

Should be a great playoff for them.
