Advertiser Staff
Southern Methodist senior forward Duke Hashimoto, an Iolani School graduate, is one of 54 Division I college seniors invited to the 2006 adidas Major League Soccer Player Combine.
The combine will be held for the third consecutive year at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., Jan. 12 to 15.
Coaching staffs and general managers from all 12 MLS teams will be scouting the players at the combine, which concludes five days before the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. The SuperDraft is Jan. 20 in Philadelphia.
An incorrect photo of Hashimoto was published in yesterday's Homegrown notebook. Also, Martin Sterling, who sails for the Naval Academy Preparatory School, is a 2005 graduate of Maryknoll School.
