Ryan Quinn Signs to Play with Carroll College
Congratulations to Ryan Quinn as he is continuing his playing career and signed to play for the Carroll College Fighting Saints! With Ryan's signing, this senior class has now set a program record with four graduating seniors playing collegiate soccer the following fall.
Ryan left a mark on our program that will be felt for a significantly long time. With his last goal against Bozeman in the state semifinals, he finished his career third in program history for career goals (33) and second for single season goals (21). His 21 goals this season were first in the state for all AA programs. On top of scoring goals, he also finished in the top three for career assists (20) and season assists (12). He is the only player in program history to be top three for all of these categories.
Although he served a valuable role as an outside back early in his high school career, he worked his way to be an All-Conference and All-State striker his junior and senior years, respectively.
Our community looks forward to following his progress both in the classroom and on the field for years to come. Well done, Ryan!

Matt Wigton Signs to Play with Carroll College
We wish Matt Wigton congratulations for signing to play college soccer for our local Carroll College Fighting Saints! He is the third player from our senior class to sign to play collegiate soccer, so the Capital High program can help you get to that next level. The last time three players from the same class continued on to play college soccer was 2010-2011 (Derik Chaney, Matt Deaton, and Devin Palmer) and prior 2008-2009 (Tommy Clinch, Kellen Martin, and Jackson Wilkins).
After joining our program just last summer, he racked up 10 goals and 5 assists this past year and garnered All-Conference recognition. Spending time in our midfield at the beginning of the season and finishing up top as a striker, he displayed a lethal left foot, levied countless hard tackles, and torched legions of defenders with his pace throughout the fall. Recording a crosstown goal at his future home, Nelson Stadium, and another in the state quarterfinal, Matt will look to bring his multi-faceted game to the Saints’ squad.
Congrats Matt and way to represent for the Bru!

Caleb Hoxie Signs to Play with Carroll College

Congratulations to Caleb Hoxie for signing to play college soccer for our local Carroll College Fighting Saints! He is the first Bruin to sign to play for Carroll in our program's history.
Caleb's accomplishments on and off the field were numerous. First and foremost, he led the team as a three-year captain, gaining the respect of his teammates over multiple seasons. On the field, he earned honorable mention (sophomore year), All Conference (junior year), and All State (senior year) accolades. He was the Western Conference Player of the Year runner-up and the Independent Record's All-Area Player of the Year this past season.
In the stats record book, he left a mark previously unseen for a midfielder. He is the only player in the top 10 in school history for goals in a career who was a pure midfielder (everyone else was a forward), finishing 6th in school history with 27 goals. He finished third in school history for goals in a season with 17, finishing 5th in the state and the only player in the top 10 statewide who was not a forward. He is second in school history for assists in a season with 12, finishing 3rd in the state and the highest of all midfielders. He scored or assisted in 13 of our team's 17 games this past season, while also setting a school record for points in a game with 11 (4 G, 3A) vs Butte. He scored the winning playoff goal to break the team's eight-year state drought his junior year and helped lead the team to a 3rd place finish this year.
Congrats again to Caleb and it will be fun tracking your progress just a little way down the road!
