Lindsay Sock Gonzalez is honored to be part of the 2018 class of inductees being elected into the North Penn Athletic Hall of Fame. During her time at North Penn, Lindsay was part of a very talented group of players and coaches for both basketball and softball. Her teammates remember Lindsay for her tenacity and success on both the basketball court and the softball field.
At a young age, you could find Lindsay almost every day out in her driveway with her father Walt practicing her pitching. If she was not working on her change-up or drop curve, the next place you may find her was at the local elementary school's basketball court. She and her father would be out there for hours working on basketball drills over and over again until the skill was mastered. Her talent was quickly noticed by both the North Penn High School's basketball and softball coaches. Shortly thereafter, she was requested to be a part of the Basketball and Softball team as a Freshman. Lindsay's exceptional athleticism had made her a key attribute to both teams.
Over the course of four years, Lindsay proved to be a key part of North Penn's Women's Basketball team's success. Lindsay earned the North Penn High School's MVP award in 2001, 2002, and 2003 years and was also a recipient of the 2003 NPHS First Team Basketball Award. Lindsay also had earned her name on the 1,000 point scorer banner, where she racked in 1015 career points. During her senior year, she earned 19 consecutive double doubles and placed in the top of the state's record holders for grabbing 34 rebounds in one game. Lindsay also received the honor of the First Team Suburban I All League Basketball Team in 2002 and 2003.
On the softball field, it was safe to say she excelled even more than she did on the basketball court. Throwing at a high speed on 63 mph, Lindsay was notorious for her drop curve pitch and had great knowledge of ball placement. She finished her North Penn career with a 0.5 ERA with a strikeout to walk ratio of 5:1. During her four years, Lindsay received North Penn High School's MVP softball award in 2001 and 2002. She was also named The Reporter's MVP for the 2002 softball year, as well as the Intelligencer's First Team All-League Suburban I pitcher for her Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. Lindsay also had the opportunity to travel to Florida to compete in the National Tournament for travel fastpitch, where she and her team placed third in the nation.
In 2003, Lindsay was offered a full scholarship to attend Holy Family University in Northeast Philadelphia to play basketball. During her four years attending, Holy Family University had made it to the Elite 8 tournament for NCAA Division II Women's Basketball. Lindsay was a four-year letter winner and a senior co-captain of her team. In 2007, she graduated with a dual major in Elementary Education and Special Education. She currently lives in Philadelphia, Pa with her husband Christopher. Lindsay is now attending Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa where she will be earning her Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy.
It is an honor for Lindsay to be inducted into the NPAA Hall of Fame alongside so many other talented athletes, especially Tricia Pike. She owes all her gratitude to her two parents, Cheryl and Walt and her sister Ashley, for all their years of support, dedication, and time to help her pursue her dreams. Lindsay would also like to thank all of her basketball and softball coaches for their patience and hard work they put in to help make her experience, as a North Penn athlete, one that she will never forget.
