One of the best all-star games in St. Louis takes place Friday evening as the Missouri Athletic Club puts on their 38th annual High School Soccer Showcase at the Worldwide Soccer Park in Fenton, Mo. The games will begin with the girls’ starting the evening off at 6 p.m. and then the boys’ will take to the pitch at 8 p.m.

Many of the players have earned scholarships to continue their academic and athletic careers at the next level.

In the girl’s match, the North team will be coached by Greg Koeller from St. Dominic, who just led the Crusaders to their second consecutive Missouri State High School Activities Association Class 4 title and their third championship in a row. Koeller was named Missouri Soccer Coaches Association earlier this week and will lead a group that has many players that earned all-state honors this week. Leading the way will be Class 4 goalkeeper of the year, Sarah Bozeman from Fort Zumwalt, and Class 2 player of the year, Emma Long from Orchard Farm.

The South girls’ team will be coached by Parkway West’s Annie Wayland, who led the Longhorns to the most successful season in school history with a 19-1 record. Maddie Schneiderhahn from Ursuline leads a talented group for the South squad as she was named to the all-state first team. Another all-state first-teamer that will be playing in the match for the South is Ava Blum from Nerinx Hall.

In the boys’ contest, Jim Layne from Fort Zumwalt South will lead the North team after coaching his Bulldog squad to a state title in the fall. Class 4 all-state defender Alex Peters from CBC will lead the North group on the backline while all-state forward Jimmy Milgie from Whitfield will lead the North attack from his forward position.

Chris Kenny from Marquette will handle coaching duties for the South team after leading his Mustangs to a 16-5-1 record this past fall. All-state goalkeeper Patrick O’Day from Liberty will be between the pipes for the South while fellow all-state first-team selection Stephen Saladin from St. Louis University High School will provide a scoring punch from his forward position.
