Barbados Soccer Academy (BSA) is once again singing the praises of another one of its top players, this time Azahri Haynes who was named the best-improved youth player at the IMG Boys showcase held last month.
A student of Harrison College, the 15-year-old Haynes was outstanding in the Under-19 division during the showcase that also attracted other overseas players and was held in the United States of America.
Head of BSA Jabez “Jack” Bovell said that Haynes showed great skill and talent on the ball during the showcase and expected him to go really far in his football career.
Bovell is hoping that Haynes will be the first BSA scholarship winner to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA.
Bovell contacted the head coach Ken Bovell of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to alert him of Haynes’ ability as a student-athlete and the BSA head is hoping that Haynes will score 1500 or above in his SAT in the next two to three years in an effort to achieve this goal.
“I believe that he will be following in the footsteps of 16 members and former students of Harrison College who have secured soccer and academic scholarships through the Barbados Soccer Academy,” Bovell explained.
Haynes is expected to captain the BSA Under-17 team for a three weeks tour to New York in July 2022. (ML)
