16 Mecklenburg County players make all-state N.C. girls soccer team
Mecklenburg County had 16 players, including N.C. 4A championship MVP Molly McGarry, make the N.C. Soccer Coaches All-State team, which was released Monday. McGarry scored a goal and was dominant in the Panthers’ 2-1 win over Apex Middle Creek in Saturday’s state championship game.
It was Providence’s first state championship in 19 years.
Five local players made the 1A all-state team: Providence Day’s Camille Appleby and Carson Jones; and Charlotte Latin’s Claudia Dickey, Mary Elliott McCabe and Emily Wise. The trio helped Charlotte Latin win the private school 3A title earlier this month.
Community School of Davidson’s Cassidy Wheaton and Julia Grainda, who helped lead their team to the state championship Saturday, made the 1A team. It was Latin’s seventh state title in the past nine seasons.
In 4A, Hough’s Alex Denny and Ashlynn Serepca, South Meck’s Ali Fitch, Myers Park’s Abby Givens, Providence’s McGarry, Mallard Creek’s Kyla Moncrief, Charlotte Catholic’s Emily Nelson and Ardrey Kell’s Haley Pratt made the team. Serepca, the Observer’s player of the year in 2015, was named the Gatorade N.C. player of the year this season. She scored more than 30 goals this season.
Raleigh Millbrook junior Claire Griffins was named state player of the year. Community School of Davidson’s Chad Solomonson was named co-1A coach of the year along with Woods Charter’s Graeme Stewart.
▪ Weddington, which won the N.C. 3A state championship Saturday, placed four players on the 3A team: Emily Hilliard, Cyan Mercer, Remi Roberts and Maggie Wadsworth.
▪ Other area players to make the team: 1A (Caleigh MacKinnon, Anna Sanders, Union Academy; Peyton Pruitt, Pine Lake Prep); 2A (Anna Boda, Parkwood; Molly Boda, Central Academy; Danielle Callanino, East Lincoln); 3A (Brooke Freeman, Meaghan Quinn, South Iredell; Kelsey Lynch, Marvin Ridge; Shannon O’Neill, West Iredell; Mary Perkins, Cox Mill); 4A (Kristin Brown, Mary Manser, Riley Orr, Lake Norman; Amber Freeney, Porter Ridge)
