Coach Morris made a special presentation at the end of the season banquet.
Coach called Eric Budniewski to the podium. He then presented him with his # 8 Jersey and said no one else in Poway soccer will ever wear this number again. Coach was retiring his jersey.
Poway high has only retired 7 player jersey’s in their 40 year history. Eric is now the 8th.
The last player to have his jersey retired, Marvell Wynne, was the 1st pick in the MLS super draft in 2006 and then went on to play with the USA National team in the 2008 Olympics. He is a current member of the Colorado Rapids of the MLS.
Eric finished his 4 year career with 47 goals and 43 assists. The 47 goals puts him # 4 on the all-time Poway goal list.
Congratulations to Eric on this great honor.
