NEW CASTLE, Ind. — Sonja Thornburgh graduated from Blue River Valley in 1996, right before the Vikings would go on to win three sectional championships over the next four years.

She may not have won a sectional as a player, but Thornburgh always thought about what it would feel like to come back and inspire a group of girls to win a sectional title. As a varsity assistant, she's played a part in Blue River's turnaround and has helped guide the Vikings back-to-back sectional titles.

Now, Thornburgh will get the opportunity to do that as the head coach.
