​Whippany Park Captains

Captain Anthony Luliano #9

Anthony has the thankless job of being center back. He is the general in charge of pushing his defense up and coordinating his midfielders to drop back. He has done an excellent job of maintaining his teams shape on defense and attack. He is a large part as to why we let in zero goals during our home opener.

Captain James Carlson-Zyats #13

James, who was a junior captain last year, continues to inspire and lead his team with his play on the field. Although it is early, he has already amassed six goals between preseason and his season opener. Whippany is sure he will continue to lead the charge with his play and goal scoring ability.

Captain Logan MIliziano #9

Logan is a starting forward for the team. He has been a great presence at practice, maintaining a positive attitude and encouraging his teammates to do the same. He has three assists and one goal thus far between preseason and the home opener. He will continue to provide goal scoring opportunities for his team.

Jordan is a three year varsity player and is a constant presence on the field.  As one of the captains on the team, Jordan sets the tone and provides the team constant energy.  He never takes a play off and his ability to create chances for himself and others in an instant has been one of the catalysts to Morristown's offense this year.

​Connor Tierney #26 Junior Midfielder

Even though he's a junior, Connor continues to prove he is one of the leaders on this team.  As a central midfielder, a lot of the offense goes through him.  If he is not busy creating chances for others, he is pinging shots from outside the 18 and scoring some of the most sensational goals for the Morristown team.
