As a
Marauder, Garza was a highly decorated prep athlete. He collected
NSCAA HS All-American, Gatorade Texas Player of the Year, All-State and
District MVP awards.
Garza
said, "scoring the winning shoot-out in the 2007 5A State Final
against Plano West and being the 5A State Championship MVP in 2008, when
we won 3-0 against Klein to claim back-to-back 5A State Titles,
will always be most important to me as it brought our program all it had
been working for. Marcus
Soccer gave me so much and I am so proud to have given them so much in
return. I am ecstatic at joining UCSB and my aim is to repay the
Gauchos in every way possible on the field after the faith they have
showed in bringing me to a college national soccer
power".
No
other team since 1991 had claimed back-to-back 5A soccer titles.
Marcus is only the third team in UIL 5A boys soccer history to achieve
such a feat. |
