ONTARIO — She has scored 70 goals in her first two high school seasons, but Hattie Yugovich would gladly trade all those goals for a district championship.
The area girls soccer Player of the Year, Yugovich is more concerned about team success than individual accomplishments.
“Winning a district title is the big goal right now,” Yugovich said during the regular season. “Nothing else matters.”
A district crown is about the only thing missing from Yugovich’s already-impressive résumé.
