Hockey: West Feature Athlete - Quigley Catholic's Preston Charlton
Name: Preston Charlton
High School: Quigley
Grade: 11
Sport: Hockey
Position: Goalie
Background Info: On a team with an explosive offense, Charlton provides the crucial last line of defense. In his first season as the fulltime starter, Charlton is 15-2-1 with a 3.42 goals-against average and .865 save percentage. Quigley is tied for the best record in the PIHL Open Class at 15-2-1 heading into a game against Morgantown tonight.
Coach Jamie Dougherty says: "As far as goalies go, he's a tall kid. He takes up a lot of net size. Last year he had to take a back seat to Matthew Vicinie, and now it's great with Preston being the only goalie. He kind of was thrust into things, but he's playing above what he was the last few years. He's improved steadily every year, and he's come up really big in the early parts of games to help us stay in the game before we get into the flow of our offense."
