Prolific forward led Millbrook High School to State Championship with 61-goal season

MILLBROOK, N.Y. So far this summer, Ousseni Bouda has scored two hat tricks for Black Rock FC on the way to a record of eight goals in six games in USL League Two. That performance is a big part of the reason why he’s currently ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the league this summer.

But Bouda’s goalscoring prowess shouldn’t come as a surprise. Before his prolific summer in Massachusetts, the talented forward was playing his final year with Millbrook High School in New York where he scored 61 goals in his final season and led his team to a state title.

On Monday, that season-long performance earned him the 2018-19 ALL-USA Boys Soccer Player of the Year award.

A year after being named the Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year after a 49-goal-season for the Blazers – an award that this year was earned by fellow League Two prospect Omar Hernandez of Dalton Red Wolves SC – Bouda had already become Millbrook High’s leading scorer in school history before his final season. He ended his high school career with a remarkable 156 goals in 82 games.

Before moving to Millbrook, Bouda lived in his home country of Burkina Faso in West Africa where he played four years in the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana. This fall, he will head to Stanford University to join the powerhouse NCAA Division I program, continuing a path that currently seems set to land him in the professional ranks one day soon.
