8/14/01. Megan Freed, right, laughs as friends, and members of the West Noble High School soccer team horseplay in the Ligonier school's stadium stands. The boys say that except for a Brazilian, their team is entirely Mexican-American. They are watching the school's girls soccer team play on the field below. Freed, 20, is a Ball State University Sophomore, and alum of WNHS. She moved to Ligonier when she was five and says that she's seen big strides in the level of acceptance shown by her white classmates of the growing Hispanic students. Freed also dates an assistant coach of the school's girls' team, and attends services at one of the town's churches, where she says, the services are given entirely in Spanish.
