Jarad Brisbin Makes College Choice.

Team Captain and four year starter Jarad Brisbin has decided to play his college ball at Western Washington University.

Jarad is a three time all conference selection at three different positions, including last year's first team selection at forward. He was also nominated to the Tri-City Herald's all area team as a first team selection.

Jarad led the Suns in scoring his freshmen and sophomore years and was the second leading scorer last year. He has scored 13 goals and assisted 12 during his high school career.

Bris has been instrumental in the rebuilding of the Suns Soccer Program, he came into a team that had only won three varsity games in the previous four years. Although his freshmen year the team had another one win season they played in seven shootouts and 12 one goal games. This was the turning point in the program and in the following two years the Suns have posted 18 wins and Jarad has been the leader of the team in that time.

Western gets a versatile player who can play either as a holding midfielder or a defensive center back at the college level. He is dominant in the air and can shut down the best of players in one on one situations. Western finished the season at 8-11-1 but were a respectable 5-3 in league play. Everyone who has been associated with Jarad is proud of him and knows that he will succeed at the next level.

He has one more important season to play before he can worry about moving to Bellingham.
