Congratulations to WHS Senior Bruno DeSouza on being named aHigh School All American by the United Soccer Coaches Association. It's a remarkable achievement to be recognized among the top 80 high school boys soccer players, and being one of only two public high school athletes in MA to achieve this honor is truly impressive.
The United Soccer Coaches All America Ceremony and Reception on January 13, 2024, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA, will undoubtedly be a memorable event for Bruno. It's a great opportunity for him to be celebrated for his outstanding talent and dedication to the sport.
