Senior, Ryan Reynolds, Selected for High School All-America Team in Soccer.

Cathedral senior, Ryan Reynolds, was selected by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) for the High School All-America Team, which is the highest honor a high school soccer player can receive.  This award is presented annually to both male and female players. The All-America Teams are comprised of the top players from each region. 

Each of the eight NSCAA regions are allocated a specific number of All-America players based on the high school NSCAA membership in each region.  To become an All-America, a player must first be selected to his or her respective All-Region team. 

To be eligible for All-Region consideration, players first must be selected All-State in their respective state through a recognized coaches' selection program. Each state is awarded a specific number of slots on the All-America team based on the number of high school coaches there are in the state and how many of them are current NSCAA members.

His finish advances him to the State Championships next Saturday 11/17.

Shining Ryan Reynolds

The Cathedral Boys Soccer Team lost a hard fought game to South Hadley, the final score was 2 - 1. Ryan Reynolds tied the score at 1 -1 with 8 minutes remaining in the first half. South Hadley went ahead to stay about 3 minutes into the 2nd half. Cathedral fought hard, and had plenty of close score opportunities, but it just wasn't our day. Nonetheless the team completed a great season and earned the respect of the entire league. All the Cathedral players fought hard in the game, but if you were to single out any ONE player...Senior Ryan Reynolds played his last game and fought his heart out.

Artie Potter - Jack of All Trades?

Or shall we say "Artie of all sports"? Senior Artie Potter has played baseball, lacrosse, and hockey for Cathedral. Just recently the boys soccer team was short players due to injury and the coach asked Artie to play in an important year end play-off game. Without hesitation, Artie said yes! His grandparents, Lynn and Bob Boron, tell us that Artie is the type of young man who would ALWAYS answer the call when needed for Cathedral, and the team. He is mild mannered outside of sports, but when on the field he is known for his excellent and aggressive style of play...in ALL sports. Actually he played several minutes in the final soccer game, and played quite well, even though he had not played soccer all year. He answered the call.
