Goalie for the boys

Got pressure? If not, try being the quarterback for the Chicago Bears. Or the president of the United States. Or a hockey goalie ... or make that a girl hockey goalie on a boys team.

Katie Herron performs her demanding gig with grace.

"I think this is one of the hardest positions in all sports," said Herron, a Lake Central junior who's the No. 1 goalie for the Indians' varsity team. "You're the last line of defense. When someone scores on me, it's always 'What could I have done to prevent that?'

Off the ice, Katie is trained in martial arts. "It helps with my quickness and reaction," she said.
