From The Tribune staff reports
MONTGOMERY – The North-South Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer All-Star Teams selected for the 2021 AHSAA North-South All-Star Sports Week were announced Tuesday.
The teams comprised of 2022 rising seniors were chosen by a special coaches committee from nominations received from AHSAA member school coaches. One of the 18 players listed on the north girls roster is Hewitt-Trussville junior Hannah O’Kelley, a 5-foot-2 center defense.
O’Kelley was also named a second-teamer on the Class 7A all-state roster. She was the only tribune-area female to land all-state soccer recognition this spring.
“We think this is a tremendous group representing many of the best boys’ and girls’ soccer players in the AHSAA,” said AHSAA’s Jamie Lee. “We are proud to announce these teams because our all-star competition is set and ready to go for this coming July. This time last year, we were very disappointed the All-Star competition set for the 2020 All-Star Sports Week had to be canceled due to the COVID 19 Pandemic.”
The all-star soccer competition will be held Wednesday, July 21, at Emory Folmar Soccer Complex near AUM campus beginning with the girls’ match at 5 p.m., and the boys’ match following at 7. All matches will be live-streamed over the NFHS Network and AHSAA TV Network.
Hewitt-Trussville girls coach Lauren Wooten will join Jack Mann, of Mars Hill Bible, and George Cavender, of S.R. Butler, on the north coaching staff.
