Naperville Central’s Lauren Thorne is back after her ACL injury. She’s not 100%. But she still gives that much.

Naperville Central’s Lauren Thorne, second from left, and Bella Brozek, third from left, celebrate with teammates after Thorne scored against Metea Valley during a DuPage Valley Conference game in Aurora on Tuesday, May 9, 2023. As time passed, it seemed to become less likely.

“With the ACL, some coaches say you can, but it’s mentally and physically hard to think about that,” Thorne said. “My brother plays college sports, so seeing the commitment and the time that he puts in, it’s like a full-time job in college.”, will be a sixth-year quarterback at Auburn next football season. Lauren Thorne will be joining her brother in the SEC, but not as an athlete. She and teammate Chloe Mowry are planning to room together at Kentucky and focus on academics.

“My brother is also a leader. I’ve seen him lead, and I understand what that means, and I think that’s essential for a team. I am super grateful for also doing it with Chloe because we are best friends since sixth grade, so we are on the same page about things.”“It started all the way back in September with them wanting to meet head of time, talk about things that we think we can be better at,” Naperville Central coach Troy Adams said.

Indeed, Thorne is not pain-free. In the five games since she was cleared to play, she has dealt with shin splints, which caused her to sit out the second half of Naperville Central’s 4-0 home loss to unbeaten Lockport on Saturday.
