Spencer Hartig - Varsity Boys Soccer
Entering in to his first year at Greens Farms Academy, Spencer Hartig has already made his athletic presence felt on the soccer field. In previous weeks, Hartig has found the back of the net on a few occasions, in addition to finding his teammates for goals of their own. This week, however, Hartig has really shined, as he scored three goals and assisted on another in a well-earned 7-4 victory over The Masters School. When asked about Hartig, Coach Chris Mira said, "He came to pre-season in great shape, which has helped to set a great example for the younger players. His personality, his effort level and his skills are all a good fit for the team."
