Fab Five make District team

Five of the area's high school soccer players have been named on the 2008-9 All-District teams chosen by the Indiana Soccer Coaches' Association.

Seniors Ben Hughes (Providence) and Dylan Abrahamson (Jeffersonville), and juniors Jordan Adams (Floyd Central) and Drew Mattingly (Christian Academy of Indiana) are part of the District 5 boys' team. Floyd Central's senior midfield maestro Nikki Korte is on the girls' team.

Both Hughes and Abrahamson were named on the second team last year, but it is the first time for all five to be named on the first team.

New Albany's Stephan Kossis and Providence's Nathan Marshall were chosen on the second team.

All-District Showcase games will be held between the six selected teams this Saturday and Sunday (November 22 and 23) at North Central High School in Indianapolis.

Coaches nominated players by submitting profiles in advance of the their district meetings in October and every member coach in attendance has the opportunity to present and promote any players from their roster who are listed on the district ballot.

Each District selects 18 first team and 12 second team players. From this list, the top 18 junior and senior players are offered roster positions for the teams that compete against each other this weekend.
