CVU Builds a Football Power
by Alex Abrami, Burlington Free Press Staff Writer
fter playing three years of youth football for the South Burlington Dolphins, Zach Foutz entered the ninth grade at one of the state’s largest high schools knowing he had no chance to play the sport he loved.
“I was really big into playing football,” Foutz recalled. “I remembered being really disappointed I couldn’t play.”
CVU — a school commonly referred as “Soccer Central” — didn’t have a football team in 2000. For Foutz and dozens of athletes like him, the choices in the fall were limited: Try out for the state’s premier soccer program or run cross country.
Was there even enough interest to provide another outlet at CVU? Jay Michaud thought so.
