Kevin Lee and the Barclay College Soccer family are excited to announce that Melvin Lara, the son of Santos and Evelyn Lara, has chosen to attend Barclay College.

Lara was first spotted by Assistant Coach Steve Davis on a recruiting trip last spring. He played 5A ball for Katy Morton Ranch High School located in Katy, Texas, and was a member of Texas United Elite Futbol Club.  Some of Melvin’s accomplishments include being selected as a First Team All-District player and being voted MVP for his High School team.

Coach Lee stated, “Melvin is the quintessential midfield play maker.”

After the Lara family made the ten hour drive from Katy, TX to Haviland, KS to check out the campus, they commented about how they felt right at home.
