Mar. 1 Emmanuel Ofori s journey towards becoming a professional soccer player has entered its second phase.
The East Hartford High senior was one of 12 players selected for Hartford Athletic s invitational combine starting March 9, the team announced Saturday. I was really excited, Ofori said. I m really blessed to have this opportunity.
Ofori, who turns 18 in May, said he got an email from the team Wednesday saying he had made the cut from Athletic s open tryouts. He was one of 104 players 66 from Connecticut, 38 from Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey to try out Feb. 20-21. The tryouts were split into 16-19-year-old and 20 and older age groups.
