Frey named 'Player of the Year' for Western AA
The Daily Inter Lake
When opposing teams played Glacier's girls soccer team, the mission was usually simple - try to contain Maddey Frey. But even then, Frey typically eluded the swarm of defenders and scored early and often. It's only fitting then that the Glacier junior would be named the Western Class AA girls player of the year. She also earned All State honors for the second straight year.
Rounding out the girls All State honorees from the valley is Flathead senior Heidi Windauer. The Bravette senior hit the game tying goal in the final regular season game against Glacier to send it into a shootout. Flathead went on to win and secure a trip to the state soccer tournament, where they lost in the consolation game to Billings West.
Fellow Bravettes Megan Garner, Tess Brenneman and Chelsea Shuman were named All Conference.
Glacier juniors Molly Benedetto and Kayla Byle were named All Conference as well.
On the boys side, two Braves were named All State after stellar senior seasons - Cameron Clevidence and Jerrad Merrill.
Flathead lost a late season play-in match to Missoula Sentinel, which had two All State selections Nate Bell and Justin Mikkola.
Glacier senior Jared Rice finished with another strong season and was named All State for the second year in a row.
Flathead senior Kyle Dixon and Glacier junior Josh Neiman were named All Conference.
Helena High's Haley Klarich was named player of the year on the boys' side.
