Last year's leading goal-scorer for St Mary's College (CIC) Josh DuCoudray became the latest T&T college player to gain a scholarship to play in the United States at St. Paul's High School outside of Baltimore.

Lincoln Phillips and Dion La Foucade were the driving forces who identified Josh as a perfect candidate and recommended him to St Paul's soccer head coach in none other than Lincoln's son Sheldon Phillips. Sheldon, who is a history teacher and the assistant soccer coach with the varsity team wasted no time and was instrumental in bringing Josh to St Paul's and hope to bring more T&T based athletes who are also exemplary students for future exchange programs. Josh will become the first student from T&T at St. Paul's High and will graduate from St. Paul's in 2008 and hopefully attend College in the Fall of 2008.

Meanwhile, another T&T based player Javed Mohammed was last week recruited by University of South Florida. The talented midfielder is from La Romain, Trinidad, out of Naparima College. He has been a member of the U-20 Trinidad and Tobago National Team. Javed also played on the Trinidad & Tobago U-17 national team and served as captain. To date Trinidad and Tobago boost some 170 players that play for Colleges, High Schools and Universities is North America.
