Congratulations to our Athletes of the Week!
This week, both of our honorees come from the varsity soccer team, which brought some familiar hardware back to Xavier High School last week by capturing the SCC Conference Championship for the first time since 2023!
In the SCC Championship, John Staron scored a goal late in the first half to make it a 1-1 contest heading into halftime. For coming through when the Falcons needed him, John Staron is one of our Athletes of the Week!
Rays Kisaku also played a major part in the SCC Championship game. With the game tied for much of the second half, the Falcons continued to push forward, looking for an opportunity to take the lead. That opportunity finally came when Hayden Modica fired a shot toward the goal. The Wilbur Cross goalkeeper was unable to control the rebound, and Kisaku was in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. He buried the rebound into the back of the net, giving Xavier the lead and putting the Falcons in position to capture their first SCC Championship in three years!
For scoring the go-ahead goal in one of the biggest games of the season, our second Athlete of the Week is Rays Kisaku!
