| Agorsor, Noyola Named High School National Players of the Year |
Chris Agorsor (McDonogh School/Severn, Md.) and Teresa Noyola (Palo Alto High Schoo/Palo Alto, Calif.) have been named the 2007 NSCAA/adidas High School National Players of the Year.
Agorsor claims the award in only his third year of interscholastic play, which also will be his last. He will graduate from high school a year early to pursue a professional career and has received offers from a number of clubs in the English Premier League, Holland, Italy and Spain. Even his final high school season was abbreviated as he missed nine games due to an injury. It didn't hold him back, though, as he scored 24 goals and had eights assists in only 15 matches, leading his McDonogh side to the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship game. During a high school career that spans less than three seasons, he accumulated 50 goals and 19 assists and earned All-Metro honors twice from the Baltimore Sun, including Metro Player of the Year this season.
Noyola picks up her second NSCAA/adidas national honor for 2007 and the third of in the past two years. She became the first athlete, male or female, to win both the high school National Player of the Year and Scholar Athlete of the Year in the same season. She also was named the NSCAA/adidas Youth Player of the Year in 2006, making her the first athlete to claim all three awards in a career. A veteran of international play, she was part of the squad that claimed the silver medal against the full team of host Brazil at the 2007 Pan American Games last summer. She scored four goals in that tournament, second only to MAC Hermann Trophy finalist Lauren Cheney, who plays for UCLA. After only 11 matches of her senior season, she has 14 goals and seven assists, including four multiple-goal matches. She will play for Stanford University next fall.
The duo will be recognized at the NSCAA All-America Luncheon, which will be held on Saturday, Jan. 19, as part of the 2008 NSCAA Convention in Baltimore, Md. |
