Congratulations to The Defender

(Note: This post was unintentionally deleted at the end of last year. It originally appeared last Nov. 19th, and the only way I can preserve this content now is to re-post it tonight.)

The Weir Family is extremely proud to announce that Aidan has been chosen to the ACADEMIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION/CIF SAN FRANCISCO SECTION BOYS SOCCER ALL-CITY 2010-11 SECOND TEAM, as the sophomore starting right back on the Balboa High School Varsity Team.

The Balboa team has made two straight trips to the playoffs, ending a 28-year-drought. Their combined regular season record has been 20 wins, 9 losses, and 3 ties, after decades of losing teams.

The defense has certainly done its part, giving up an average of only 1.25 goals per game. Two other Balboa players made Second Team, as did three seniors to the First Team. Congratulations to all those honored:
