Freshman Fransico (Paco) Miranda attends Olympic  Development Camp
Coosa High
School rising freshman Fransico
"Paco" Miranda has just returned from the REGION III Olympic
Development Program Soccer Camp. One of only two players from the North Georgia area chosen to attend. The US Youth

the primary mission is to identify elite level Region III players and
facilitate their selection to the US National Team programs. The selection
process takes place through state, regional and national trials. The primary
benefit to the player is to be able to try out, train, and play against the
best players in their age group, allowing the best players to further their
development as soccer players. Paco had a great camp and hopes to find
out within the week whether or not he has made the Region Squad which
includes the best players from Alabama , Arkansas , Florida , Georgia ,
Louisiana , Mississippi , North Carolina, Oklahoma , South Carolina ,
Tennessee , Texas North , and Texas South. He has consistently
been one of the state of Georgia’s
top goal scorers while playing for the Concorde Soccer Club out of the Metro
Area. Head Coach Randy Vice of Coosa commented: “We are excited to
have Paco as part of the Coosa family, he is
a hard worker and an outstanding young man on the playing field and in the
classroom. I believe he will continue in his successful endeavors in
both areas and should help us continue the tradition of excellence we expect
from all of our players”
