Early into their varsity careers, brothers Zayd and Asha Mirza have already shown flashes of their famous older brother.
Ali Mirza graduated from Bedford High School in June as the boys soccer team's all-time goals leader (74). He was the Gatorade New Hampshire Player of the Year last fall after logging 33 goals and 10 ***** ists, helping Bedford reach the NHIAA Division I semifinals.
Asha, a midfielder, made the Bedford varsity team as a freshman. Zayd, a junior striker, spent the past two seasons on the junior varsity team before earning his varsity call-up this fall.
"I just feel like in front of goal, they're all confident and all are good with both feet," said 19th-year Bedford coach Stuart Pepper before practice on Wednesday. "Goal-scoring looks like it comes easy to all of them."
Asha scored his first goal in his first game — Bedford's season-opening 6-1 win over Winnacunnet on Friday. Asha and Zayd both come off the bench for the Bulldogs, who were 2-0 entering their Thursday night home bout against Exeter.
