Matt Silver Figures In Math Team Triumph
T
he sophomore JV player and Scrabble star helped Staples’ math team finish 6th at the New England Regional Competition last week in Canton, Mass. — the Westporters’ best finish in 10 years.
Their goal was to edge out at least one Massachusetts squad — and they beat 4. Congratulations!
One more Staples soccer connection: the math team’s co-coach is Sydney Brown. A math teacher, she is the mother of former Wreckers Mike Brown (who went on to star at Middlebury College), and Steven. Sydney and her husband Dave helped co-found the Westport Soccer Association in 1975.
