CHILLICOTHE — The Frontier Athletic Conference released its all-league volleyball soccer lists earlier this week.

The conference’s three Players of the Year each aided their respective schools to FAC championships.

Miami Trace’s Addyson Butts helped the Panthers finish 10-0 on the volleyball court, Chillicothe’s Kaiden Koch led the Cavaliers to an 8-0 mark on the soccer pitch, and Chillicothe’s Ali Mathis led the Cavaliers’ girls to a 9-0-1 mark in league play.

Butts totaled 278 kills, 31 aces, 30 blocks and 34 digs while Miami Trace finished 17-4 overall. Koch was an imperative part of the Cavaliers’ offense, which put up 59 goals in 16 matches, and Mathis tallied 23 goals and seven assists while Chillicothe pieced together a 12-2-2 mark.

Here’s a full look at the FAC’s all-league selections in each sport.

VOLLEYBALL

Three other Panthers join Butts on the all-league list. Gracey Ferguson, Courtney Carter and Sophia Parsons also helped Miami Trace in a tremendous way this season and are all-league recipients.

Chillicothe’s Elizabeth Henson and Avery Cox also appear on the list, as does Jackson’s Kaydee Brown.

Rounding out the list are McClain’s Lilly Barnes and Hillsboro’s Cora Akers.

BOYS SOCCER

Koch is joined by three teammates on the all-league list — Mason Siberell, Danny Bentley and Schylar Srey. That quartet helped the Cavaliers outscore league opponents by a 41-4 margin in eight contests.

Meanwhile, Hillsboro’s Will Hart, Nick Turner and Keahi Mhanna are all-league honorees while Jackson’s Conner Ball, Isaac Coleman and Keon Koka join the list as well. The Indians finished 3-3-2 in league play while the Ironmen went 2-4-2.

Rounding out the all-league boys soccer honorees are McClain’s Haydon Hice and Emerson Yates as well as Miami Trace’s Sekou Mara.

GIRLS SOCCER

Five Cavaliers headline the FAC’s all-league girls soccer list. Mathis is joined by teammates Kiera Archer, Avery Erslan, Addie Price and Gemma Maimone. Those five names accounted for a total of 83 goals and 36 assists this fall.

Jackson, which finished 8-1-1 in league play, is represented on the list by Abby Seimetz, Mattie Walburn and Jade Winters. The Ironladies’ lone loss was to Chillicothe while the pair tied in their first meeting, 1-1.

Hillsboro’s Peighton Bledsoe and Rylie Scott are also all-league honorees while McClain’s Luca Matesic, Miami Trace’s Jana Griffith and Washington’s Addison Chambers round out the docket.
