Matthew Hunt Named November 2015 Competitive Player of the Month

Date Posted: 12/10/2015

Matthew Hunt is the Germantown Legends Competitive Player of the Month for November 2015.

Matthew Hunt began playing soccer in church league when he was four and has played for his school, Evangelical Christian School (ECS), since sixth grade.  He has been on the ECS varsity soccer team since he was a freshman, appearing in the Tennessee State Scholastic Athletic Association (TSSAA) state semi-finals in 2014 and 2015.

Matthew has been playing with the Germantown Legends boys’ competitive soccer team since its inception in 2011, when he was in 7th grade.  He is currently a member of the U18 Legends Black team.

“On the field”, stated Coach Kirk Dunaway, “Matthew Hunt is definitely a very valuable player for us, as his goals and assists (25 goals and 9 assists in 23 games) can attest to.  He is also a leader by example, in both his hard work and attendance.”

Coach Dunaway continued, “Matthew is a fine young man and player.  He is one of our informal leaders whose dedication and hard work have definitely paid off.  In the past two seasons, Matthew has hit for 40 goals in 40 matches… that is fantastic at any level.”

Matthew also takes the field as a referee for the U8 teams and holds his USSF Youth Module Soccer Coaching License.

Off the field, Matthew is involved in the Spanish Club, Streets Ministries and serves as an Usher at his church and Student Ambassador for school.

In the past seasons, he has volunteered with TOPS Soccer, Target House, Christ Feeds and SOS.  Matthew, a junior at ECS, maintains a high GPA while taking Honors classes.  He is hard-working, disciplined, passionate and inquisitive student.

Matthew enjoys mentoring and playing soccer with younger children in Nicaragua who look forward to his annual visits.
