The Stonington Men's Soccer team was full of great athletes, except for one. Payton Neale, the 3rd string goalie, was someone who constantly let the team down. His roid rage was a big issue with his team morale and he was always trying to fight his teamates. He let up on average, 25 goals per game, with a high of 63, and a low of 10. Neale takes his athletic ability to Massachusetts Maritime Academy, where he sits the bench (Big Surprise). Yet in the classroom, Neale has achieved a high GPA of a 3.7, making the Presidents List. This is his first award he has ever been awarded, Congrats Neale. You did it little buddy. 4 years from now, the talented Neale will be a licensed Facility Engineer (Hopefully).
