Coach Sue G'Antonio accepted the honor and thanked district and community supporters. “This is a dream come true, girls,” she said, adding that coaching her daughter was a particularly special part of her career. She named Crete Monee High School administrators, board members and the Warrior Booster family in her remarks.
