Senior Declan Wywoda has been the Law boys soccer captain for the past two years and he is proud to lead the team again this season.

Wywoda loves being the person to set the pace in practices and enjoys coaching other players.

“I like being a leader,” Wywoda said. “I like helping people when they are down and showing a good example for other players.”

Wyowda has set many team and individual goals for the current season.

“I want to make the State Tournament,” Wywoda said. “Our team has grown a lot from last year. I believe this team is special and can compete with anyone in the state.”

Many players respect Wywoda and look up to his leadership abilities.

“Declan is a good leader because he helps our team in different ways,” junior Christian Mead said. “He supports us through our hard games and he always motivates us to do better on and off the field.”

Many freshmen look up to Wywoda and appreciate the tips and resources he provides to them.

“Declan is a good captain because he is honest with us and he is not afraid to use his voice when needed and is a great role model to us,” freshman Kevin Cepetelli said.

Other varsity players also feel that Wywoda is a great teammate towards them and has benefited the team in a very positive way.

“He is a great leader towards us, and he is a great leader in games and practices,” junior Alex Rodriguez said. “He is a very vocal captain and he does what he does very well.”

The boys soccer team has big goals for the season. They go through very competitive practices everyday and work hard to be the best that they can.

“Our aspirations for this season are to make states and to win it.” Wywoda said. “We have worked very hard in the off-season to eliminate mistakes and to better our skills, our practices have been very challenging to make game play easier.”
