It is no surprise that 15-year-old Maura Dorr was selected as athlete of the month for basketball in February. The sophomore’s school year is packed with a full schedule of varsity sports, keeping her busy all year round, with soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and lacrosse in the spring. She also plays an active role in student council, leading her class as the Vice President and the treasurer of E-board. As her most recent accomplishment, Dorr was selected as NEC All Conference for basketball, EMGSA 1st team All- Star, and All-State All-Star at the end of the soccer season. When Dorr isn’t busy with sports, academics, and student council, she spends her free time babysitting.
What do you love about playing soccer?
I have grown up playing soccer, it is very big in my family. I have played since kindergarten and I love the sport. I currently have the second highest amount of goals in Winthrop high school girls’ soccer and I am seven away from breaking the record. This past season I had 29 goals and I hope to break the record next season!! I love my coaches and teammates.
What is your favorite subject?
I love any type of science.
Who is your role model?
My role models are my mom and dad. They always put me in situations to make me succeed.
Do you see sports in your future? I definitely want to continue sports in college, but I still have to decide which sport I want to play. The options are between soccer and basketball.
