Congratulations to Middlesex member Parker Vasic!

Corpus Christi FC is excited to announce the signing of midfielder Parker Vasic for the remainder of the 2026 season 🤝

The transaction was completed prior to the USL League One Roster Freeze on Monday, Sept. 7.

Vasic signs his first professional contract after a four-year NCAA Division I career at Northern Kentucky and Rhode Island.

“Parker is an all-around type of midfielder who can play as a six or as an eight. He comes highly recommended and has had a standout college career. He comes to Corpus highly motivated to show what he can do, and we are all very happy to have him on board,” said Head Coach Eamon Zayed.

Please join me in offering hearty congratulations to Michael for finishing second in the District 53 Humorous Speech Contest! With five strong contestants in a crowded ballroom, Michael shared his funny experiences and advice for coping with the stresses of teaching.

He did a great job, and it was fun to see how much his speech improved at the various contest levels!

Congrats and high fives!

Congrats to Gloria and Michael for taking home hardware from today's Division C speech contests! Gloria placed third in the International speech contest, and Michael won the Humorous speech contest! They both delivered strong speeches, and you could see the work they put into improving them (and how the club's collective suggestions helped).

Michael earned the opportunity to compete again in the District speech finals, which will take place on Friday, April 24, in Waterbury. The contest opens the annual district conference, which Jen is co-chairing. The Friday night contest is available through a free registration (so the team knows how many people are coming).

Congrats again to Gloria and Michael!
