VALLEY SPORTS HISTORY

2014

Nuhfer received Academic All-American status in each of the last three years becoming the three time Academic All-American in the school’s history. Enslin was a four year NCAA All-American and seven time PSAC champion in her career. Enslin earned All-PSAC status 11 times in her career. She maintained a 3.99 GPA while earning a degree in geology with a minor in mathematics.

2004

• It’s no secret that Lindsay Proctor was one of the best all-around athletes in Yough history. On the soccer field she set a school record of 42 goals during the past season. On the basketball court, Proctor was a member of the school’s 1,000-point club. She was also a member of the track and field team, participating in five different events including the 100- and 200-meter dashes, the long jump, high jump and pole vault. She qualified for the WPIAL Class AAA finals in four events, both dashes and both jumping events. In recognition of her athletic prowess, prior to the YMCA Scholar Athlete Banquet, Proctor was named the Female Athlete of the Year by Life Fitness and was awarded a treadmill. She will be attending Geneva College in the fall to play soccer.

• How do you prepare to face an unbeaten team with a powerful offense and a stingy defense? That was the dilemma facing Straub’s Mon Valley United as they look ahead to a game at Harmarville in the Western Pennsylvania Adult Soccer League. Only half in jest, Greg Pastor, the Mon Valley United manager said, “Prayer might help! They’re a solid soccer team. They don’t have any weaknesses so we’re going to have our hands full. We will have to be at the top of our game if we are to have any chance of winning against them.” Harmarville has a 5-0 record and has scored 21 goals while only allowing 5 against.
