This year, the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) has decided to create spotlights to honor Abington High School’s student athletes. In light of the current pandemic, it is more important than ever to recognize their efforts and talents.

Highlighted on the fourth day of these spotlights are two South Shore League All Stars from the Boys Soccer team. They are sophomore Christopher Ferreira and junior Jesse Spinney.

Christopher Ferreira has been named as a South Shore League All Star for the Boys’ Varsity Soccer team. The sophomore, 10th grade, has been playing soccer for three years. Christopher’s position on the field is wings, and his favorite memory of the sport is scoring a free kick of 27 yards! When asked why he chose to go into soccer, Chris says, “It’s a sport I love doing!” Back in 2019 Chris was also given the MVP award for his AYS Spring Soccer team. Christopher continues to be a valued player of his team, and everyone can’t wait to see what else he will accomplish in his soccer career!
