Pat Darling was one of the most dangerous goal scorers in Frederick County soccer history. A true striker, he built his reputation as a pure finisher, consistently delivering in the biggest  moments.  Darling starred at Brunswick High School during the 1990 and 1991 seasons and played a major role in one of the program’s most historic achievements. In 1990, he scored two goals in Brunswick’s first-ever State Championship victory. He went on to set multiple school records, including a career scoring mark of 42 goals over two years (1990–1991), a single-season record of 22 goals in 1991, and a single-game record with five goals in one match.

Darling earned MVAL First Team honors in both 1990 and 1991 and led all league scorers with 15 goals in conference play. He also led Frederick County in scoring both seasons, totaling 20 goals in 1990 and 22 goals in 1991. His excellence earned Frederick News-Post All-Area First Team recognition in both years, along with Second Team All-State honors in 1991 and selection to the All-State Game. In the 1992 Frederick County–Washington County All-Star Game, Darling scored two goals and was named Match MVP.

At Frederick Community College from 1991–1993, Darling continued his scoring success, leading the conference in goals and earning All-Conference honors in both 1991 and 1992. In 1992, he helped guide FCC to a Region Championship as the team’s leading scorer.
