The Staples Boys Soccer program marks its 50th anniversary this weekend. The first Staples boys soccer game was played in September 1958.
The weekend kicks off Friday with a social gathering at BobbyQ’s in Westport. On Saturday, there will be a tour of the new Staples, breakfast on the Loeffler Hill terrace, a varsity game against Stamford, lunch in the Staples courtyard, an alumni game and “alumni’s kids” game.
The weekend will be capped off by a wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres reception at the Westport home of former Staples captain Dan Donovan. It’s Homecoming Weekend – an added attraction for returning alumni.
“This year’s team is honored to salute the legacy of the 49 squads that came before it,” said Dan Woog, Wrecker head coach and a former player.
