HC student secures football scholarship

A 17-YEAR-OLD student of Harrison College is the 27th footballer from the Barbados Soccer Academy to gain a football scholarship.

Torian Went, who is in his final term at school, received a full scholarship to the University of Florida after delivering an outstanding performance at a number of Disney showcases in Florida last December.

The teenager, who will be leaving for Florida in a couple of months, said playing football was his main dream and being able to attain an education while doing that was a plus.
