Marc J. Small Memorial Scholarship Winners

Congratulations to our 2023 winners:
Liv Navarrete and Lucas Capelini

Rather than reward solely on academic or athletic success, these scholarships are awarded based on the traits that Marc most personified:  Strength, bravery and character.  After a rigorous evaluation of written applications, coaches recommendations and personal references, Marc's family felt that Liv and Lucas best embodied these ideals.

Liv Navarrete has been playing for the club since she was 6. She has demonstrated strength, bravery and character in all aspects of her life from sports, academics and work experience.  Her soccer coach stated that she closely reminded him of Marc, quick with a laugh or joke but always there to help lift people's spirits. 

Lucas expressed his heartfelt gratitude upon being awarded the scholarship: "It’s an honor to have been awarded the Marc J Small Memorial Scholarship. Playing soccer at Methacton United/Fc Montco and at the high school was a privilege and an amazing experience I got to be a part of. The relationships I formed, memories made, and lessons I’ve learned.....I wouldn’t have wished to do it anywhere else. I’m looking forwarded to continuing my education and playing soccer at College level with the help of the scholarship. Thank you."

Liv and Lucas will each receive $3,000 scholarships to apply toward their higher education goals, a plaque honoring their achievement, and their names are engraved on the perpetual award displayed at Methacton High School.
