Grafton girls’ soccer boasts seven college-committed players in the Class of 2027

GRAFTON – When a community raises an athlete that competes for the town, graduates from the district’s schools, and commits to play at the collegiate level, it’s a sign that something is going right. After all, it takes a village. In Grafton, it’s more than just one athlete. It’s many more. Seven members of the Grafton High School Class of 2027 have committed to play girls’ soccer at the next level. Since 11 players take the pitch at any given time, the Gators practically roll out a college line-up when they compete across Central Massachusetts. It’s an incredible feat for a small community like Grafton. “It shows how committed they are. They’ve been part of this program since their freshman year, but beyond that, they’ve been playing through middle school, through clubs together. It just builds over the years, and it culminated this year,” head coach Matt Bazinet told the Community Advocate.
