Celebrating Our 12th Man

Posted

This season, the DR boys' soccer team is honoring the memory of James Dias, who bravely fought a long battle with brain cancer until his passing this past June, by wearing an armband in his name. James’s father, Nelson Dias, expressed his deep gratitude, saying, “I’m incredibly touched and humbled by these young men keeping James’s legacy alive.” He added, “Their act of kindness means the world to me.”

Coach Michael Morgado shared how much the gesture resonates with the team, saying, “It’s had a positive impact on the boys. They’re fully invested in it, always reminding me, ‘Coach, are we taking the photo before the game?’ James is our 12th man, watching over us.”
