Former Lexington High School and Cape Cod Crusaders goalkeeper Ethan Zohn will dribble a soccer ball from Gillette Stadium, starting after the Revolution-D.C. United game Aug. 20, to Washington, D.C., as part of a Grassroots Soccer HIV/AIDS awareness campaign. Zohn, 34, was the initial “Survivor: Africa” television reality show winner and also played for Highlanders FC, Zimbabwe’s most popular club. The Grassroots Soccer program, started by Dr. Tommy Clark and actor Andrew Shue, who both went from Dartmouth College to play for Highlanders, sets up programs for young Africans to learn to avoid HIV-related problems. Zohn and program director Bill Miles, a former University of Pennsylvania player, met with Dube, formerly of Highlanders, at a recent Revolution practice. Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari is a former Grassroots Soccer staff member . . . Nicol and Revolution assistant coach Paul Mariner plan to visit Honduras to scout George Wilson Welcome, a U23 national team striker who trained with the Revolution last week. Welcome, 23, has been playing for Arsenal on the island of Roatan in the Liga de Ascenso (second division).
