MARSHFIELD – Twinfield-Cabot’s Jola Otten put a bow on an outstanding high school soccer career earlier this month by being named to the 2026 Vermont Lions Cup boys roster.
Otten had a stellar senior campaign for a record-breaking Caledonia United (Twinfield-Cabot-Danville) boys soccer team this past fall, leading the program to its first undefeated regular season (16-0) and its first Division IV state championship match. Cal United fell to top-seeded Twin Valley 2-0 in the state title match at Rutland High School. Otten formed a three-headed monster with senior teammates Eli Russell and Sam Mclane as Cal United outscored its opponents 90-10 throughout their historic run. Otten scored a career-high 14 goals and was a First Team All-Mountain League selection.
Joining Otten on the Verrmont boys roster this summer are Randolph’s Zane Cooper and George Rosalba, Mount Mansfield’s Levi Causey and Otis Lee, Twin Valley’s Tucker Magnant, Montpelier’s Will Curtis, Burlington’s Faraja Diedonre, Peoples Academy’s Noah Brown, CVU’s Sebastian Bronk, Will Wallace and Julian Olin, Harwood’s Brycen Scharff and Emmanuel Mego-Vasquez, Mt. Abe’s James Graziedei, South Burlington’s Sebastian Bertmann, West Rutland’s Brayden Schutt, Burr & Burton Academy’s Bodie Smith, Eagan Murray and Ethan Pringle-Corcoran of Essex, Ryker Mosehauer of Vergennes and Evan Bretton from Rice.
The Lions Cup match-up between state rivals Vermont and New Hampshire will be held at Hanover High School on July 18.
