JACKSON — For the first time in what seems like forever, Jackson’s boys soccer program captured an elusive Frontier Athletic Conference championship.

There’s no doubt that Grady Massie led that effort.

The senior scored nine times this fall and passed out a team-high 16 assists, leading his teammates to an overall mark of 14-2-1.

But Massie wasn’t the only Jackson senior to take home hardware.

On the girls side, Sydney Carpenter has been named the FAC POY.

Carpenter scored 29 goals, pushing her career total to 78, while adding five assists to her resume.

Here’s a full rundown of the FAC’s all-league boys and girls soccer teams.

BOYS

Joining Massie with first-team all-FAC honors are his teammates Thatcher Brown, Drew Neff and Landon Profitt. Miami Trace’s Landon Burns, Andrew Trout, Ian Rayburn and Merrick Montgomery, Hillsboro’s Ryan Howland and Cooper Swope, Chillicothe’s Sam Byrd and Henry Byrd, and McClain’s Creed Davis are also first-team honorees.

Chillicothe’s Tevaughn Beatty, Hillsboro’s Dylan Bender and Jackson’s Ryan LeFever are honorable mention recipients.

GIRLS

McClain headlines the girls list with four honorees in Paisley
Pryor, Addison Olaker, Becca Bergstrom and Bailey Parson. The Tigers won the FAC championship — the program’s first-ever — with an 8-0-2 mark in FAC play.

Joining that quartet and Carpenter are Jackson’s Kollier Fulton, Miami Trace’s Nora Morrison, Karleigh Cooper and Elyse Day, Hillsboro’s Kobie Miles and Meredith Dietrick, Chillicothe’s Alex Erslan and Washington’s Calee Ellars.’
