Natick girls hockey freshman goalie Sophia Luoni already comfortable
Natick needed a goalie after last year’s starter transferred. Sophia Luoni was on JV as an eighth grader last year and fits in perfectly on varsity.
After combing over statistics and results, and with the guidance of local athletic directors and coaches, we at the Daily News selected All-Stars for boys and girls basketball, boys and girls hockey, boys and girls swimming, boys and girls track and field, gymnastics, skiing and boys and girls wrestling.
