But the story of the Blue Devils win is not solely one of raw athletic talent and training. This is a team with a long history and deep friendships that have spanned many years and continents. A number of the players originally hail from Somalia and have known each other and played soccer together since they were children in a refugee camp in Kenya. Othersnative Mainers and immigrants alikehave bonded and shared their passion for the sport since grade school. This fraternal bond between the players and the supportiveness of the Lewiston community is a fine example of Maine citizens from diverse ethnic. religious. and experiential backgrounds coming together to achieve victory while championing Maines spirit and Americas highest ideals of inclusiveness and unity. I wish to join the city of Lewiston and the entire Maine community in congratulating the Lewiston High School boys soccer team for their wellearned success.
