The Bobcat soccer program got markedly better this week as prized recruit Mike Hinden of Western High School in Davie, Florida signed a letter of intent for next season. Hinden is an offensive center-mid who was a four year varsity player at Western, and captain of his team last season. He was selected 1st Team All-County by the Miami Herald after a 9 goal and 9 assist season in which he guided his squad to an 18-4 record where they reached the regional playoffs. Hinden also played for the Plantation Eagles U-18 team, where he lead the team in both goals and assists. STU head coach Felix Mats was understandably excited in securing a player of this stature, and opined, "Mike is a talented midfielder who we expect to contribute right away, and be a valuable player on the 2009 STU team."
