  1. Congratulations former Page Pirate Mamadee Nyepon. A wonderful story of many folks (working behind the scene)to make sure Mamadee had an opportunity to demonstrate his tremendous athletic soccer talent @ HPU and chase his dreams. Having watched the coaches and parents both from the school and club soccer teams he was on, work together (anonymously) to give him an opportunity is an example of how interscholastic and club sports can co-exist for the good of the individual. This is truly a feel good story. Congratulations Mamadee
