WESTPORT — The Staples High School soccer stars of 2021 spent yesterday with the soccer stars of tomorrow.

The Wrecker varsity team traveled to Wakeman, Long Lots and Burr Farms fields, for Westport Soccer Association games at the 2nd through 8th grade levels.

They led warmups, taught a few drills, gave pep talks and cheered on “their” teams. The Staples players were impressed at the skill level of the younger boys, and enjoyed spotting the next generation’s great goal scorers, playmakers, defenders and keepers.
