QUICK DISPOSAL would like to congratulate Mohamed Janga for being named Wakefield Memorial High School Varsity Boys’ Soccer Player of the Week. This season would look entirely different if it were not for the play of Janga. Mo has been a massive part of Wakefield’s success. Played primarily as the lone striker in Wakefield’s system, Mo is often outnumbered 4-1. Opposing sides soon found out that they needed a few more players to defend him. A three year varsity player, Janga’s work ethic is enough to give any defensive units fits and that’s exactly what he does. Mo’s ability to close down distances and pressure the ball is second to none. While on the ball, Mo has the ability to shield off multiple defenders while creating space that allows for his teammates to run on goal, hold possession until help arrives or dribble on net himself. This past week Mo helped the Warriors tie first place Burlington, beat rival Watertown and scored the first goal in Wakefield’s big win against Swampscott on Senior Day.
