Addy Smith '27 has been a patient and kind leader as a Captain, offering guidance to the younger more inexperienced players of the junior girls’ soccer team.. She was also a rock in the net for us this season, only conceding one goal. She was instrumental in our team securing the Regional Championship this year. Congratulations to Addy!
Franklin Arthur '28 has a been a key contributor to the Junior B Boys’ Soccer defensive line. All season long, he has stopped his opponents’ progress, thanks to his speed, skill, and tenacity. As well, he often put himself on the goal line and blocked shots when the keeper was out of the net. His situational awareness is impressive and his teammates knew they could count on him in every match. Well done, Frankie!
