Soccer Star Heads To U.S. University The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 7,1991 9 Pioneer Week-end Held at Darlington Provincial Park by Brad Kelly Just how good a soccer player is Bowmanville resident resident Chris Hull? . Well, consider that his senior team at Durham Christian High School managed managed only one win this past season. But, even with the team's dismal record, he led them in scoring. He had been the school's top player for the past two seasons, despite playing a schedule that included games against high schools ten times the size of Durham Durham Christian. ; Though he'didn't get the exposure of playing on a high-profile team, he turned the heads of a couple of university university recruiters south of the border. "It was hard to be on a team like that," said Hull of his high school team. "It would nave been nice to be on a winning team, but it was fun to get others in the school involved with the team." It's this type of attitude and proven leadership qualities qualities of the past year that impressed impressed Dordt College soccer coach Quentin Van Essen to offer Hull a scholarship. The school, located in Sioux Center, Iowa, will be his home for the next four years. "I went down to visit the campus back in February and spent time with the coach," recalled Hull of his initial visit to the school. "They (the soccer team) aren't losing too many seniors seniors (only two), but the coach told me they were looking for a forward. "He told me if I work hard things will happen." Last season, the Dordt College Defenders compiled an impressive 14-4-1 record and finished as the runner- up in the NAIA District 15 Tournament. Tragically, prior to the championship game, the school's top senior forward fell asleep behind the wheel of his car and was killed. The team decided to withdraw withdraw from the championship game. Hull is a product of the Darlington Youth Soccer League, where he began playing at the age of six. He enjoyed success early, playing playing on two regional all-star teams that represented the Durham Region. "I picked up the game from friends at school, and got into it right away," said the 18-year-old of his early days on the soccer pitch. "My parents always stressed the concept of one sport, so I decided to stick with soccer." The decision to devote himself full-time to soccer, paid off in the end. Dordt College, a Division II school, plays out of the Upper Mid-West Athletic Conference against such notable notable schools as South Dakota Dakota State and Northwestern. The soccer season at Dordt runs from September 7 to October 26, and includes includes 19 league games as well as a couple of round robin tournaments. That's huge increase from what Hull is used to playing. Though he has to leave in a couple of weeks to begin training camp, the reality of going away to the school hasn't sunk in yet. "It hasn't hit me yet, but it will. I think when I leave to go to the camp it will hit me then." And when asked about his future after graduating in four years, he was realistic realistic about his chances of playing playing professionally. But he did leave the door open to offers. "Right now, at this point, I'm going to try and move on scholastically and focus on- my major (physiotherapy) and see what doors open up after. "For sure, if the offers to play professional come up, I'd love to play." ■/ - r.i Darlington Provincial Park student worker Anne Weekend for the children and families who spent the Turner shows children how to operate a pioneer toy Civic Holiday Weekend at the provincial park, called a whirly wood.
