I love playing sports for a long list of reasons, but I especially love sports because they
help define who we are:
- Sports give you confidence.
- Sports give you strength.
- Sports give you a voice (hence, the nickname Loudy Foudy). :)
- Sports teach teamwork and leadership.
As a recently graduated high school senior, attacking center midfielder Morgan Brian already has
career stats that any soccer pro would envy. This past spring season she led her high school,
Fredericka Academy in St. Simons, Georgia, to a 17-2-1 record and a fourth straight Georgia
Independent School Association Class AA state title.
Now in its 26th year of honoring the nation's elite high school athletes with the Gatorade
Player of the Year award, The Gatorade Company presented the ninth annual Gatorade High School
Athlete of the Year awards to the nation's best overall male and female high school athletes this
evening.
In the female category, senior Morgan Brian of Frederica Academy received the 2010-11 Gatorade
High School Athlete of the Year award at a dinner reception in Los Angeles.
Ready. Set. Goal.
In a Southland [New Zealand] senior women's soccer game on Sunday, 14-year-old student Alex
McIntosh slotted 12 goals in the one game. In doing so, she led the Old Boys women's team to a
whopping 25-nil win over Queens Park. The Invercargill teen was all smiles after the match.
