[Men's Soccer] Senior Soccer Players Receive Varsity Letterman Jackets

Despite the ravages of COVID-19 taking away their senior season, three Williamson senior soccer players were awarded their Varsity Letterman jackets in a special presentation in chapel this past Monday morning.  The jackets are given to Williamson student-athletes who participated in a varsity sport all three of their Williamson years.

What was unique about this year's presentation was the fact that none of the three senior soccer players were able to actually compete for the school this past fall, as the school was forced to cancel its fall sports seasons due to COVID-19.  That, however, made no difference to Williamson athletic director Dale Plummer or the rest of the Williamson administration, as each of the three were given credit for their senior season.

"We know each of the three very well and we know their heart and we know they would have participated if given the opportunity.  There was no way we were going to let COVID rob our guys of this very special honor," explained Plummer.

The three receiving their jackets were Nate Burnshaw, Jeffrey DiEgidio and Jack Becker.  Becker was an Academic All-American in 2019 and was in line to become Williamson's next soccer All-American before COVID hit. 

"We are extremely proud of, and thankful for, the efforts this group put forth to compete for and represent Williamson on the field and in the classroom.  Each is a first-class representative of Williamson and very deserving of this honor," closed Plummer
