MINOOKA — For the second year in a row, Minooka junior forward Jill Hetfleisch is the Morris Daily Herald All-Area Girls Soccer MVP after scoring 23 goals on the season en route to a regional title game berth for the Indians.

"I'm really honored to win the award," Hetfleisch said. "It's very exciting to win it again."

It was a struggle at the beginning for the junior, as Minooka head coach Chris Brolley decided to play her on defense to start the season. The move was questioned a lot of people, as the Indians started 0-6-3 on the season, falling into the cellar of the Southwest Prairie Conference.
