Thomas & Farris Student-Athlete of the Week: Taylor Springs
Taylor Springs has played a big role in the Beddingfield boys soccer team’s resurgence after an 0-7 start, making him this week’s Thomas & Farris Student-Athlete of the Week.
Taylor, a senior co-captain, scored the decisive goal in overtime as the Bruins’ winning streak reached six games with a 4-3 win at Farmville last week. Springs jump-started the Bruins’ streak with both goals in an overtime victory against Kinston.
Hailed as a team leader by head coach Maitland Barnes, Taylor also swims and plays golf at Beddingfield.
The son of Mara and Dennis Springs of Wilson, Taylor was ranked sixth in his class and had a 4.2 weighted grade point average entering his senior year.
He is the president of the Bruins Freshman Mentor program and is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, American Field Service and National Honor Society.
