The Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Program feted its four senior student-athletes during the Senior Night recognition ceremony on Tuesday, October 19 at the Gouverneur Wildcat Soccer Field. The celebration was held before the Wildcats last home game of the season, against Canton Central.

Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Boys Soccer Coach Luke Hayden said: “A few of them, I have had a really long time, since the first year of modified. I appreciate all of their efforts that they put through. I appreciate all of the parents for bringing them all the time. I want to wish them all the best of luck, through whatever they go through after they get out of school.”

The seniors recognized included: Mason Witherell, the son of Dean Witherell and Erin Hughes, Jarret Knight, son of Jeff Knight and Missy Brown, Avery Hayden, son of Josh Hayden and Kim Denesha, and Marcus Kopchinski, the son of Mick and Michelle Kopchinski. A yellow carnation and blue ribbon was presented to each senior student-athlete as their name was called. The bouquets were purchased by the Wildcat Athletic Booster Club through Emily’s Flower Shop in Gouverneur.

Many words of congratulations were extended to the senior student-athletes following the recognition ceremony. For more information on Gouverneur Central, visit gcsk12.org.
