Third-year team captain of the Westmont boys varsity soccer team, Demsin Bet-Varda, has been working hard as the defense leader of the team to help them achieve their goals of making and winning the Central Coast Section. Standing at 6’0 feet tall and weighing in at 180 pounds, Demsin has been training to be in the best shape possible for all of his soccer seasons. I talked with Demsin about his time playing soccer, his main sport, and discussed other details about his life.
