A Gifted And Skillful Player
A Gifted And Skillful Player
To the Editor:
As the sister of Marc Doherty, I donât believe that the article written [âCasey Frobey, Marc Doherty Earn Parade Magazine Honors,â The Newtown Bee, December 9, 2005] was a good representation of my brother. I might be a little biased; however, I know how my brother plays and I feel he is a very skilled player and I donât think that was portrayed in the article. I think what Brian Neumeyer wanted to say was that my brother worked hard to achieve the awards that he has received, but it does not show that he also has many skills that have helped his team achieve many titles in his four-year career on the Newtown High School Boysâ Soccer team.
I just want to make it known that Marc was named All-American and Connecticut Player of the Year and he must have some âphysical giftsâ to be able to achieve those awards. I guess what I want people to know is that Marc is gifted and skillful player. After four years of excelling in this program, I feel as though you should have better to say about him.
