Zane, who lives in the central Maine town of Freedom, is making the move to NYA after three years at Mt. View High in Thorndike.

A Division I prospect like Gorman, Zane said the move was made primarily for academics.

"I was looking for a stronger, more rigorous academic program."he said."It wasn´t very challenging (at Mt. View).I really wouldn´t do much at all and I had a 3.9 (grade-point average)."

Getting an opportunity to play on the same team as his best friend also was a consideration.

"Taylor´s wanted me to go to NYA since I was a freshman, but I wasn´t quite ready to move out," Zane said.

The friends met while playing for opposing club teams.

"When I was 12, I was playing for the Terriers in Waterville and he was playing for Coastal and they beat us 13-0," Zane said."After that game, I said, ´Dad, I want to play for that team.´ "

At the time, Gorman´s parents were coaching the under-12 team.

" I went down and tried out and made the team," Zane said.

For six years, Zane has been making the 70-mile round trip from Freedom to Brunswick three or four times a week during the spring and summer to practice with the Coastal Soccer teams.During the past several winters, Zane also made the trek to Topsham to play in an indoor soccer league two or three times each week.

Zane often ended up spending a night with Gorman´s family in Freeport.
