He is all so proud of what he did and of what the team had accomplished.

“I am beyond proud of my Gorman career. The 2022 team won the southern regional and 5A state title which was a tremendous accomplishment for us as a team and me as a person. Not only have I won those titles, but I’ve made lifelong friendships with a lot of my teammates who have already graduated.” Sanchez described.

Sanchez concluded with, “unfortunately, my soccer career as a whole, officially came to an end after our loss. I’ve played for the past 11 years of my life and have come to the decision that I’m ready to move on and seek new challenges and opportunities outside of the sport.”
