“Scott is a great talent,” says managing partner Douglas Heizer. “Having him play in the city where it all began for him is special, not only for him, but for the entire city of Boca Raton.”
“He’s a quality player,” added general manager/head coach, Marcelo Castillo. “I’ve see Scott play in every level and having a player like him is big for us.”
