…As Chase’s Academy duo prepare for the 2025 season
National U14 Player Jaden Tasher
With the 2025 season of school football approaching, Midfielder Jaden Tasher and Defender Tyrell Wallcott are eager to gear up for the Chase’s Academic Foundation. They aim to defend the Chase’s titles in all of the secondary schools’ under-18 tournaments.
Tasher and Walcott were part of the history-making team in 2024 that emerged champions in four schools’ football tournaments. First, it was the U18 Milo Schools Football tourney in April. Tasher followed that up by winning U14 ExxonMobil Boys Football tourney in July. In December, they bagged the U18 Republic Bank Schools Football League, and closed off the season by winning the KFC Goodwill International Schoolboys Tournaments.
Speaking exclusively with Guyana Times Sport, Tasher divulged that the focus is on the Milo U18 Tournament, while indicating that communication and chemistry are areas that need improvement for the team.

Tasher said, “I think that mainly, right now, we’re just focusing on winning the Milo, because it’s the next competition up ahead, and we just want to dominate this season and win everything. I think the chemistry of the team (needs to be improved) and I think we should communicate more and get together and try to understand each other better.”
Quizzed about the impact of the school’s overwhelming success, Walcott said it gives him confidence, given that he is one of the younger players on the team.
“It gives me a lot of confidence, because, for me, I’m one of the youngest football players in the team. When I play against other players, I like to showcase my talent and show them that, because I’m young, I like to dominate and win,” he said.
Tyrell Walcott and Jaden Tasher will gear up for the first time in the 2025 season. They would be representing Chase’s Academic Foundation in the 19TH Milo School Boys Tournament, and they are fully resolved to defend their title.
