Katie Flynn, senior, Freedom girls’ lacrosse will be attending Temple next fall, where she’ll be playing lacrosse. Her major is undecided.

Q: Now that the news of the spring season being over has had time to sink in, what are your thoughts or emotions about not being able to play your senior year?

A: “Hearing that the season has been canceled, at first, I was a little emotional and thought that this honestly sucks, but I knew there truly isn’t much I or anyone could do to get out on the field and be able to play this season. Also knowing this was my senior season, I think that’s why it hurt so much and knowing that I won’t be able to play with my fellow seniors and the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen one last time hurt the most, because my team is and always will be like another family to me.”

Q: What were you looking forward to the most this season?

A: “The same thing I look forward to every season, getting to play side by side with my teammates and working hard to try and make it to the EPC and district championship games and making our best efforts to win them. This season was going to be a special one we all could feel it during the offseason and practices.”

Q: What activity do you find yourself doing the most during quarantine?

A: “Some activities I find myself doing the most during quarantine is most definitely trying to eat right and keep up my exercise and stick skills. I enjoy doing some Zumba and workouts I find on YouTube and making sure I get in the backyard and play some lacrosse.”

Q: What do you miss most about normal life?

A: “I miss being able to see my friends and surprisingly enough going to school. I miss being able just to go out to the turf at Freedom and play with my teams or just go and shoot around. Times like this are hard and no one saw this coming, but I’m enjoying the time I get to spend with my family and dogs.”

Q: If you had the choice to be stuck at home with any teammate(s) during this quarantine, who would they be and why?

A: “It would have to be Lily Judge because we have been the best of friends since 2008 and still so close to this day. We have played soccer and lacrosse together for years and we were co-captions for this soccer and lacrosse this season. I have known her for a long time and we always have such a good time together.

Q: Can you name your favorite movie, show or series you’ve watched over the past month?

A: “My favorite movie I’ve watched over the past month would have to be 6 Underground on Netflix. My favorite show would always have to be Friends I have watched each and every episode so many times I’ve lost count.”

Q: What’s the worst part about being stuck at home?

A: “The worst part about being stuck at home is not being able to go out for lunch with my friends or hang out with them. Not being able to play lacrosse with my teammates is hard too. I miss everyone and normal life so much, just trying to wait it out and hope we can get back to normal sooner than later.”

Q: What’s the first thing you want to do once this quarantine is over?

A: “The first thing I want to do once this quarantine is over is to go see my friends and teammates. Just going to try and get out of the house as much as possible every day whether it is hanging out with friends or going out to the turf to play some lacrosse with my teammates.”

Q: Can you tell your favorite sports story about yourself, your team or your teammates over the years?

A: “My favorite sports story about myself would have to be scoring my 100th goal sophomore year against Allentown Central Catholic. Once I scored the goal I could hear how excited everyone was and then I turn and see Emma Telatovich running to me with her hands up and she picked me up and then the whole team came running up to me with smiles on their face. I will never forget that day or the day I scored my 200th goal junior year against Easton, although we lost that game we fought hard.”

Q: What lesson(s) have you learned throughout this whole process?

A: “Some lessons I have learned throughout this whole process is don’t take anything for granted. You never know when something can be taken away from you without you knowing. Make every day count, enjoy and cherish your high school experience you don’t realize how fast it goes by.”
