Both Calvert and Stiles Reach Milestone

This fall, both Lilia Calvert and Kohen Stiles reached the goal of scoring fifty goals in their high school career. This is a momentous milestone for two of Abington Heights’s soccer players.

Kohen Stiles, class of 2024, has been playing this sport for 13 years. He went into the Varsity Boys match where he set the record not aware that his 50th goal was coming up. Much to his surprise, Stiles found out after the game that he achieved this special score for his high school career. 

When asked about who helped him, Stiles stated, “All my teammates and past coaches helped me because of all the effort they put in me to develop, that is much appreciated.” 

Stiles truly thanks his team and coaches for aiding him in this procurement. He also expressed that, “Soccer isn’t an individual sport, my team put me in the position to succeed and score all those goals.” 

Also achieving this milestone is sophomore Lilia Calvert, who started soccer at just 2 years old. She was striving for this accomplishment, she definitely knew about it and was optimistic about it occurring that very game. 

When asked about her motivation, Calvert replied, “Motivation from my family, teammates, and myself helped a lot. They are always pushing me to be a better player and person. Having positive people that push you and are determined with you helps a ton.” 

Congratulations to both Lilia and Kohen. We hope to see many more goals in your future.
