100 Goals for Soccer Senior

Stephanie Hernandez

A huge congratulations to senior soccer captain Stephanie Hernandez, who scored her 100th career goal last week on Tuesday, January 13th! Stephanie reached this incredible milestone during a dominant 11–0 victory over Crawford in their Battle of the Boulevard, marking an exciting league opener for the Cardinals. Her 100th goal was celebrated with some confetti and pink powder cannons, and after the game she was surprised with a 100th goal jersey. What an amazing achievement and a testament to her hard work, leadership, and impact on the field. Way to represent Hoover, Stephanie
