Soccer Scholar Athletes

For the sixth time in eight years, the Staples High School boys soccer team has earned Academic All-America honors. The National Soccer Coaches Association of America cites teams with an average GPA of at least 3.25. The Wreckers’ 2007 squad had a 3.31 GPA–-the only boys team in Connecticut to earn Academic All-America status. “I am extremely proud of our guys’ success, on and off the field,” said head coach Dan Woog. “They truly understand what it means to be student-athletes.” Pictured (l-r) are Staples soccer tri-captains Frankie Rende, Adam Liu and Alex Hoberman.
