Mike Romeo, Athletic Director, announced the Middle School Athletes of the Week at Wednesday’s divisional meeting. Congratulations to soccer players Jaxson Diaz ’28 and Aiden Virto ’29.
Jaxson is not only being nominated by both of his coaches but also a teammate, who explained that Jaxson immediately let him know "it's okay" after he made a mistake which led to the other team scoring. This is what we all hope for in a fellow teammate – someone to help lift us up when we feel we have let others down. But beyond that, Jaxson has shown incredible growth as a defender this season.
Aiden played a superb game against MKA, the best opponent the Rams faced all season. He was on the pitch until the final whistle, running down every loose ball, making every effort to receive and pass the ball, and playing with the expectation that at any moment the game would turn around in his team’s favor. As a result, Aiden was the only one to score for the Rams against a team that has only given up a handful of goals all season.
