signs with talented Reinhardt squad

Beau Balesky, senior

striker at McIntosh High School, recently signed a

scholarship to Reinhardt College to play soccer beginning

in the fall.

Balesky,

son of J.B. Balesky and Lyn Stanley, is expected to

complete a tandem of lethal goal scorers for Renhardt. He

joins two other Peachtree City natives at Reinhardt,

returner Jordan Vires (Arlington Christian) and fellow

Chief senior Fabian Lamy.

Balesky has

played Classic level club soccer and also has been in the

state pool for Olympic development. He was a 1999 Atlanta

Journal Constitution All-Southside soccer team awardee as

well as the 1999 McIntosh Offensive Player of the Year.

Recently, he broke the 16-year-old McIntosh High School

record for most goals scored in a career.

Reinhardt

College Coach Jonathan Lenarz said, "Beau is an

enthuisiastic young man and a true talent. Physically, he

has the best mix of speed and size of any high school

player in greater Atlanta. Not only that, he has an

incredible touch and an understanding of what it takes to

score goals. I am very excited to combine Beau with our

returning striker, Unai Urresti, who accounted for 21

goals this past season. Opponents will have to take our

offense very seriously."

Reinhardt

finished the 1999/2000 regular season with an 8-11

record, winning the South Region of the National

Christian College Association of America, finishing

eighth at the National Christian College Association of

America National Tournament.
