There was a time when Homewood-Flossmoor had one of the strongest girls soccer programs in the south suburbs and the Chicagoland area.
Just ask Waubonsie Valley coach Julie Bergstrom , who starred for the Vikings during her high school playing days.
After a few so-so seasons, H-F seems as though its ready to complete with the elite programs once again. A big reason for the Vikings' success this spring has been due to the play of freshman Kelly Lewers (13 goals, nine assists).
"She is playing well against good competition," H-F coach Todd Elkei said. "Kelly is becoming a serious threat and making a difference the past few weeks."

Joe - Please remind me of the years of HF's glory days???? When was the time that they had one of the stongest teams in the south suburbs let alone the Chicagoland area?
TROST RESPONDS: The late 1990s. Gina Napoli, Jen Grupe, Ilene Weinstein and Debie Liang - four Division I kids - led H-F to the super (lost to Lyons) and then to the sectional final, where it blew a 2-0 lead and lost to a powerful Lincoln-Way team in a shootout.
