All Star performance does cross-fit and performance training for young adults and adults. I have 3 children, two college athletes and one still in high school who have participated. The training protects from injury as well as helps them gain strength, balance, and fitness. This class is specific for soccer athletes. Will include some foot skills as well as strength and conditioning work sports specific. They offer other classes specific to other sports as well. Their facebook page is a good source of information. https://www.facebook.com/Allstar2021

All Star is doing a soccer specific training starting in Jan. https://fb.watch/hKABAXk91c/

Kaia Griffin - Xavier University Keelee Griffin - Ferris State University

Unbiased opinion is similar. We were there until half so Keelee could get her All state award. NDA controlled the game, had plenty of decent chances and a few good. South Oldham was physical and super direct with everything. We saw as many as 6 along their back line with one striker up top...

This is the list we have for Region 9: Image-1.heic

Sounds like the All State teams have come out for this year. Does anyone have the full list?

Thank you!

The game should be fast paced, it will be interesting to see if Highlands can use their width, speed and back side runs against Bain and Spivey to create chances. NDA is skilled and keeps their shape well. I’d definitely say the best two teams in the region are playing for the title.

Do you know where to find the full list?

Welp, good news Conner didn’t score. Bad news, Ryle scored for them. 1-0 Conner.

Only because this got fun do I feel the need to chime in. There is a difference between trying to possess the ball and move it forward (and failing) and not playing offense. It goes to my earlier season question as to comparing Beechwood to Ryle. Not one Ryle goal has been from a centerback kicking it as far as they can to have someone go run and get it. (yes, i know because we score so few) As for the Ryle offense, well the Dixie game managed to take out our #2,3 and 4 scorers......(they will be on crutches until sometime in the spring) Regionals should be fantastic (please read the sarcasm), we will see how tonight goes.....

Thank you. With it being senior night, they moved a couple of the girls up to play more attacking positions (Kaia and Poe) so it made for a different looking game. I think everyone but Keelee enjoyed it being a little more wide open than normal.

Agreed, if I were the ref I’d probably have given Keelee a red. Sounds like the 40 yards from goal skewed his decision on the card. I would have also not played advantage, let Kaia score for Ryle then call it back for an infraction? We probably should’ve had a few more PKs (both teams). Lots of loose arms flying around hitting soccer balls and he only whistled one? Par for the high school soccer course to me.

I'd say the environment was decent, not the US Youth or ECNL national finals with the sidelines packed but not your typical parents only club game. The crowd definitely skews younger and more fun. Fall team here is a mash of 8th grade through senior, so is it better? meh...just different. The chance of injury is always there. I am all for a trip to Louisville being my furthest game over a trip to Buffalo.

I'll throw in that probably the best and most highly recruited female player in NKY over the last couple of years has chosen to kick for the HS football team over playing HS soccer.
