Wofford, who is LOA’s all-time leading scorer with 74 goals since 2018 (with a COVID-shorted season in 2020), poured in 33 goals this season alone.

"I couldn't be prouder of this team and the way they battled through adversity this season,” said head coach Julie Brooker. “Between COVID and injuries, we were really tested.

“The boys came together under the leadership of our seniors, specifically John Clay Wofford, goalkeeper Logan Fedelem and Jack Miller. Seniors Umar Sultan, Jackson Perry and Jacob Morse were the ultimate utility players and always put the team first.  The talent and tenacity of John Clay lit the fire of competitiveness for all our players.  His counterparts Miller and junior Kyle Beasley facilitated beautiful play all season long.  Rising seniors Beasley, Gavin Minster and Jarod Batson will be fun to watch next year. They are a gifted group of soccer players.  Being a part of this Titan squad these past four years has been one of the greatest coaching experiences of my career. The foundation has been laid and the future is bright.”
