Congratulations to Danilo Duric who has received the PLAZA PRIDE Award for Boys Soccer. We would like to share what was written about him. 

Danilo Duric is a dedicated student and soccer player. As a student who attends Kemps Landing Magnet School, he travels every day to Plaza Middle School for practice and games.

 It takes him no time to get warmed up and ready to go. His enthusiasm for the game and team are shown in his speed and technical abilities with the soccer ball.  

He is an excellent example of someone who shows respect for the game, his two schools, and his teammates.

His integrity for high academic achievement is a standard that he possesses daily.

He is a student athlete that all coaches desire.

Please congratulate Danilo Duric for receiving the Plaza Pride Award.

Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for our team!
