"It's confusing enough that senior Maggie Kearin attends Louisville High in Woodland Hills and will soon attend the University of Louisville in Kentucky on a full scholarship. Let's forget about the two Louisvilles for a moment. Did you know she has a scholarship awaiting her based on her skills in field hockey? And the high school she attends doesn't have a field hockey team."
"She earned the offer based on her play in club field hockey. At Louisville High, she's perfectly happy playing volleyball and soccer when outsiders have no idea she's one of the top field hockey players in Southern California. Her father is Jeff Kearin, the former Loyola High and Cal State Northridge football coach who's the JV football coach at Crespi and has been transporting her for years to competitions. He consulted with others about whether Maggie should go to a high school that has field hockey, and they told him being good in several sports will help her versatility in field hockey. Maggie has been playing the sport since she was 5."
