Chuck Hartlieb of Marian, Rob Stunz of Marengo, Jerry Boxleitner of Marengo and Another Big Adjustment Stoffel Now Taking On Coaching MIKE LAMB Every successful athlete must adjust to new situations all the time. If an athlete fails to overcome new situations, he or she usually falls to the wayside. Former McHenry Warrior softball and basketball player Pat Stoffel is one athlete that met every new situation without much trouble. Her success has led her to numerous awards while playing at Western Illinois and now it has led to a coaching job. Stoffel's career at Macomb, 111. has gone so well, she was nominated for a national award and was named assistant coach for the women's basketball team this past season. All that she gained now, probably would never happen if she didn't cope with the first adjustment from high school to college. "You have to adjust to it," said Stoffel, on her first year at Western Illinois. "You're away from home and you come in just another player. A lot of my friends gave up after one or two years, because they were not getting the playing time. A lot of times I asked myself what I was doing here." Although success doesn't always come at first, Stoffel did find out why she was at Western Illinois to play softball and basketball. Her Westerwind career began on the basketball court. She skipped softball her freshmen year because she didn't think she was good enough. She eventually became a four-year varisty competitior in both sports. As a junior (1979-80), Stoffel was selected to all-tournament team at the Division I IAIAW state Basketball Championship. In 1981 she was voted the Westerwinds basketball most valuable player. When her baskeball career was all over, she had amassed 1086 points in 92 games for a 11.8 scoring average. Her name is posted in the Westerwinds record book for three different categories. Her softball career was just as impressive. She was selected as the Westerwinds most valuable player in 1982 and was selected as an AIAW all-american two times and was once honored as an ASA all-american. She also holds the Westerwinds softball all-time Athlete Away big adjustment as an athlete. She was hired as assistant coach for the Westerwinds women's basketball team. It's a ad­ justment she is still trying to overcome. "Right now. I still like to play." said Stoffel. "I like to coach, but it's tough to get out of the athlete phase. I'm getting in the swing of things. It's just adjusting to the situation. It's a big adjustment from athlete to coach. I do get the "With experience it will come. I just don't like recruiting. I like to meet the athletes, but I like coaching better." records in four categories, in­ cluding a career batting average of .355. The Westerwind softball team played in the national softball tournament each of Stoffel's four years. Her success in softball led to her nomination for the Broderick award, which is national award. It is the highest honor granted collegiate women athletes. Stoffel was nominated twice. She wasn't picked as the top athlete, but she was the only softball player from the midwest to be nominated. Her graduation led to her next opportunity to play everyday in practice." Her duties as assistant coach does include helping out with practices, but one of her main duties is recruiting and watching other, games. It's the recruiting that has needed the biggest ad­ justment as a coach. "It's a big business now. Girls basketball collegiatley has become big. You have to really go after them. I have a a lot to learn on it. "With experience it will come. I just don't like recruiting. I like to meet the athletes, but I like coaching better. "With recruiting, you have to make so many chances. You only see athletes once or twice. But, it has given me an opportunity to meet a lot of super people, athletes and coaches." Under the guidance of Stoffel and head coach Theresa Check, the Westerwinds went through a dismal 5-22 season. But, Stoffel added that the team was very young -- so young, the Wester­ winds are losing just one senior for next season. Stoffel added that Check was hired just before the season started and wasn't able to do much recruiting. "They never gave up (the team). They could have easily. They're real young. There are two juniors and the rest are sophomores and freshmen." Stoffel isn't quite sure yet what the rest Of the future holds for her. She is just taking one step at a time. "I like to stay at the colligiate level. I can go back to school and get my masters. Right now I'm getting my experience. I have to be patient. It (coaching job) was the break I really needed. It made a difference in my life. "I always loved basketball. It's probably were I should stay. It's were I'm at now and I think I should stick with it. Basketball is my number one love." Stoffel has made a few recruiting stops to the Fox Valley area and says there is some good talent. Her recruiting trips have taken her to Chicago, suburbs, Peoria and other Illinois areas. "I think kids are adjusting better now. Some of the kids I've seen have the potential. Everybody wants to go Big 10, but I think some of them should set goals where they can play. The competition is so good now. Coaches play the best players and that's the way it is." Brad Christensen of Richmond rounded out the first team. Stuntz and Hartlieb are juniors. Gary Tonyan of Marian made the second team. Tonyan was a junior center. He was joined by Paul Eisenmenger of Huntley, Jay Soine of Richmond, Steve Horsfall and Kirk Gordon both from Alden-Hebron. Jffjjere was a no dpubt about the ptayer of the year tn class AA. Schafer dominated the Fox Valley Conference and was heavily recruited by college coaches all season. Schafer averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds for the season. Taking his team to the super- sectionals befor losing, made Collins a shoe-in for coach of the year. His Crystal Lake South Gators finished the sea^qn losing to Elgin for'the right to gfr to the state finals. The Gators record, stood at 25-4 for the season. Anderson's call to be player of the year was based on a 19.0 scoring average and 9.5 rebounds a game, as well as averaging 4.5 assists a game. His coach, Fir- chau, guided his team to the Johnsburg regional cham­ pionship, only to lose to Marengo 55-54. The Hornet season ended with a 18-8 record.
