Exchange Students Go All-State

December 13, 2011 · 2 Comments

 

International Student Exchange would like to extend a thank you and congratulations to Sampsa Isahatala and Luis Trinidade from the South West region for their success on the Panthers football team at Yellville Summit High school in Arkansas.  Both students have received a praiseworthy mention for their performance on the football team this year, honoring their coaches, host families, natural families, and of course International Student Exchange with their achievements. Sampsa was awarded 1st Team All-Conference, and Luis was awarded 2nd Team All-Conference, both high regards for any student athlete, but somewhat more notable in this case as neither student has ever played American football before coming to the United States.


To Sampsa and Luis, ISE salutes and congratulates your achievement, and we wish you a successful and happy remainder of the year with your host family and school.

    These boys did an amazing job this year and it was a pleasure to watch them excell in this sport and with their families.

    Wow, that's amazing. I also played american football when I was an Exchange Student so I understand how cool this is for Sampsa and Luis. Are anyone of them a kicker? :)
