The seven seniors on the Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Team were celebrated during Senior Night before the first home game of the season on Tuesday, October 13.

All were welcomed to the Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Senior Night by Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Coach Lucas Hayden.

“This has not been the greatest year so far with everything going on,” Coach Hayden said. “They can’t have all their friends and family here… I have seven seniors this year. Three of them I have had since Modified, and four of them this is my first year actually coaching them. They all work hard in practice. They all dedicate their time, definitely. I am proud of them. I know you guys should be… I’d like to thank them for playing, and I’d like to thank (the parents) for doing the running around for them.”

Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Coach Lucas Hayden was assisted in the ceremony by Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Girls Soccer Coach Mark Martin, who distributed the flower bouquets to the seniors. The seniors then presented the bouquets to their parents in a show of appreciation. Photos were then taken of each senior and their parents.

The seniors honored were as follows: Brock Cox, the son of Amanda Cox and Charles Newvine; Joseph Cummings, the son of Shawn and Clara Cummings; Kyle Gaumes, the son of Robin and Cindy Gaumes; Daniel Hall, the son of John and Betty Hall; Jordan Hayden, the son of Lucas and Staci Hayden; Wyatt Holmes, the son of Greg and Bobbie Holmes; and Garret Leclair, the son of Nichole Fullerton and Jimmie Leclair.

Many words of congratulations were extended to all the seniors on the Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Team.
