Albany High School boys’ varsity soccer coach David Weiss
was named Class AA Coach of the Year by Capital Region Soccer.com.
Under Mr. Weiss’ instruction, the boys’ team turned in an
impressive unbeaten regular season to claim the Big 10 title for the
first time since 2005. Led by Big 10 MVP Matt Wu on defense and senior
Owen Daniels on offense, the Falcons went 12-0-2 in conference play.
“This season was a great success for the program, not
just on the field but off as well,” Mr. Weiss said. “In addition to our
first Big 10 title since 2005 and our undefeated regular season, we led
Section II in shutouts and goals against. In addition, we achieved
scholar-athlete recognition from the New York State Public High School
Athletic Association and two of our players (Daniels and Wu) earned
National Merit Scholarships.
“I am extremely grateful to my coaching staff, the
parents and the players who all played an enormous role in earning this
award.”
Weiss, who teaches eighth-grade social studies at Stephen
and Harriet Myers Middle School, finished coaching his third season at
Albany High. |
