The Staples boys’ soccer program has donated $750 to Biloxi High School’s soccer team.
The Mississippi school, devastated by Hurricane Katrina, was the recipient earlier this fall of a backpack drive conducted at Staples High School. At that time the Wreckers donated used soccer equipment to Biloxi.
The Biloxi coaching staff told Staples head coach Dan Woog that the funds would go to provide important equipment for the team—in Mississippi, interscholastic soccer is played in the winter.
In addition, the coaches will disburse funds to individual players on an as-needed basis. Several players lost their homes in the hurricane.
“While much of the nation’s focus has been on New Orleans, Biloxi suffered tremendous losses too,” Woog said.
“Any club or organization that wishes to help their counterparts at Biloxi High School, or anywhere in the town, should contact the principal. Her name is Ms. Manners, and her phone number is (228)435-6105.
