It's a goal he'd like to accomplish, but right now the junior forward is more worried about fixing the Centurions' offensive woes than breaking his brother's record. Saugus has struggled to a 3-4-2 start before entering the Hart tournament Monday, and the Centurions have scored just seven goals. ``We just can't seem to put the ball in the net,'' Wright said. ``We're dominating, but we can't score. We don't look for each other when we get close to scoring. We have to work together better as a team.'' The way he talks, it seems that the 16-year-old Wright is a long-time veteran of the sport. But in reality, the 5-foot-7, 150-pounder is fairly new to soccer. Wright, whose father Nate Sr. is in his 14th season as Saugus' coach, didn't start the sport until he was 11.

And Nate Jr., who just completed his junior season at Biola, was right there to help him. ``We did a lot of shooting every day,'' David said of his summer workouts. ``I ran five miles every day and tried to make it under 35 minutes, because Nate had to do it for Biola. ``I jumped rope, shot balls against the fence; I even worked out when school started. I thought to myself that this was my junior year and I really have to pick it up.'' Wright's determination and strong work ethic work ethic n. A set of values based on the moral virtues of hard work and diligence. work ethic Noun a belief in the moral value of work is one of the things Nate Sr. has noticed in David already in 1998-99. ``He has good balance with both his left and right feet when he dribbles,'' Nate Sr. said. ``He has quickness and speed and places the ball well, and that's a key factor. ``He's a hard worker and it will all pay off as time goes by. David is David I, king of Scotland David I, 1084–1153, king of Scotland (1124–53), youngest son of Malcolm III and St. Margaret of Scotland.
