Varsity award winners

A message from Coach Shaver on varsity award winners:

Congratulations to the following boys soccer players who were recognized at yesterday's Capital Region Soccer Coaches Association annual banquet:

* Zack Weidner- Foothills 1st Team All-Star & Section II All-Star (also nominated for Section II Player of the Year)

* Ben Spilman- Foothills 2nd Team All-Star & Section II All-Star (also nominated for Section II Keeper of the Year)

* Josh Wadleigh- Foothills 2nd Team All-Star

* Peter Sliva- Foothills 2nd Team All-Star

Congratulations to each player! They certainly deserved the recognition and honor.

In addition, the Eastern Board of Approved Soccer Officials Association awarded the Section II Sportsmanship Award the Glens Falls boys varsity soccer team. This is an honor that I am very proud of for the entire program. This award highlights the fantastic spirit of fair play, dedication and hard work that each and every player, parent, and coach in our program has demonstrated, not just this year, but throughout much of my career. Congratulations to each and every one of you!

Thanks again for such a wonderful season!

Happy Holidays!
