WESTBURY, NEW YORK (November 2023) — Two Westbury High School fall athletes received exceptional acclaim for their talents. Boys varsity soccer senior forwards Edwin Escobar and Jonathan Osorio were named to Newsday’s Top 100 Boys Soccer Players for 2023.

“Our boys soccer program has become a point of pride for all of Westbury High School,” said Westbury School District Superintendent Dr. Tahira DuPree Chase. “Edwin Escobar, Jonathan Osorio and the entire team have consistently dedicated themselves on the field and in the classroom.
