School donates Soccer jerseys to boys in Africa

Somewhere on a field in Ghana, there’s a group of kids sporting kelly green Dixie soccer jerseys.

The jerseys began as part of the Dixie boys soccer team’s varsity uniform years ago, then they were passed down to the school’s junior varsity team.

After a few seasons on the backs of 15- and 16-year-old boys, the jerseys were replaced by newer jerseys, and Dixie boys soccer coach Brian Gamble had no use for them.

Ellis will accompany 14 Dixie students and girls soccer coach Jason Burton on a mission trip to Managua, Nicaragua, where the group will host soccer camps.
