Alabama’s North-South All-Star boys and girls soccer games differ from most other high school all-star events. The Alabama games, July 16 at Emory Folmar YMCA Soccer Complex in Montgomery are for rising juniors.
The games are sponsored by the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association and will be held during the 17th annual Alabama All-Star Sports Week.
The North girls will be coached by Brigid Littleton of Vestavia Hills and Brad Carwile of East Limestone. Coaching the South girls are Kacey Ivey of Alabama Christian and Jon Sauers of Faith Academy.
Coaching the North boys will be Joe Webb of Mountain Brook and Sean McBride of Homewood, while the South boys coaches are Ruben Risco of McGill-Toolen Catholic and Bo Morrisey of Auburn.
The North holds a 10-2-1 edge over the South in the girls’ competition and the North boys lead the series 7-4-1.
A feature of the All-Star clinics are training sessions for coaches in a variety of sports, including soccer, at the Renaissnce Montgomery Convention Center.
Matt Williams, head soccer coach at Huntington College will present a soccer coaching session in morning and afternoon time slots. Williams was promoted to head coach at the Montgomery college in early May.
He had served as an assistant coach of the Hawks for one season. He replaces Timmy McCormack, who left Huntingdon to become the director of athletic communications at Piedmont College.
