Winning a high school state title can be difficult, but for one Valley coach, she has led her golf team at Xavier College Preparatory High School to 37 state titles.Sister Lynn is a living legend. The nun who graduated from Xavier College Preparatory returned to teach physical education and coach golf in 1974 for her alma mater."Next year will be the big 5-0," Sister Lynn said. "Long time, but I love my job.
"There's so many great coaches in this country," said Sister Lynn. "Every state has probably 10, 20, 30-thousand coaches. For me to be selected, I just couldn't believe it." "We haven't lost a match this year," Sister Lynn said. "I think we're up to something like 500 matches without a loss.""It’s not whether we win, it’s to have the kids involved that’s been my philosophy since day one," Sister Lynn said. "I love winning, don't get me wrong, but you really want the kids to have a good time and make friends."
"We want our girls to come out of a sports season happy, maybe having learned the sport, and feeling that they are worth something," Sister Lynn said.
