On His Game: Andrew Soccer Enjoying Euro-Import Lisha
Born in soccer-crazed Italy, Glorind Lisha explains what he likes about playing forward for the T-Bolts in a five-question video interview.
Andrew's Glorind Lisha was born in Italy to Albanian parents, and though his parents may enjoy volleyball more than soccer, they still immersed Lisha into the Italian past-time as a child.
"Soccer is a big deal (in Europe)," Lisha said. "I got involved at an early age. We moved over to the States when I was 4 years old, and I have stayed with the sport since."
Lisha has played soccer at Andrew his entire high school career and is now one of the T-Bolts primary goal scorers.

"Soccer players are pretty tough," Lisha said. "Everyone thinks we are soft, but we're tough."
He is tough enough to play two sports for the T-Bolts, in fact. During the winter months, he is a member of the Andrew boys basketball team.
