William Byrd soccer players Ian Sigmond and Landon Niday represented Virginia last weekend in the US Youth Soccer East Region Championships. They were part of the VYSA State teams and Byrd coach Russell Dishman also participated as a VYSA Goalkeeper Coach and as a coach/scout for the East Region as well. The East Region is made up of state soccer associations from Virginia, West VA, Maryland, Eastern PA, Pennsylvania west, eastern New York, Western New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island. “They both played great,” said Dishman.
