Gatorade Honors Joshua Partal ’25

Recognizing his leadership on and off the field, Gatorade named Joshua Partal ’25 its Massachusetts Boys Soccer Player of the Year. The title recognizes the top athletes in each state who perform at the highest level of their sports while “demonstrating high academic achievement and outstanding character in pursuit of living as a champion.” 

Partal is the third Milton boys’ varsity soccer player to earn the honor in as many years and the fourth overall: Alfred Debah ’25 received it in 2024 and Kaan Inanoglu ’24 received it in 2023. Partal will play soccer at Stanford University, while Debah committed to Wake Forest University. Inanoglu, who transferred after his junior season, plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, an elite professional club in Germany, and has enrolled at Princeton.
