Notre Dame Regional High School recently announced Joda Holloway ‘09 and the 2002 Boys Soccer state championship team are among this year's inductees into its Athletic Hall of Fame.

Holloway, a 2009 graduate of Notre Dame, competed in soccer. Holloway was a member of the 2006 and 2007 Class 2 state championship teams during his sophomore and junior years respectively. He earned second-team all-state honors during his junior year and first-team all-state honors during his senior season. The Bulldogs finished that year third in the state. He played defense for his club team, the St. Louis Scott Gallagher U.S. Soccer Development Academy, and for his first three seasons as a Bulldog. During his senior year, Holloway was called to switch to a center midfielder. He had nine goals and 11 assists during the 2008 season.

Holloway attended St. Louis University and was a member of the Billikens soccer team for four years.

The 2002 Notre Dame Boys Soccer team, coached by Brad Wittenborn, claimed the program’s first state title and finished with a 20-5 record. They defeated Windsor 10-0 and St. Pius 3-0 to win their district. The Bulldogs then defeated Rosary 3-0 in the sectional game with two goals from Adam Prasanphanich and a goal from Tyler Cuba, as well as assists from Blake Urhahn and Jonathan Market.
