Of the 38 players invited to play, 4 are goalkeepers and the remainder are field players. The vast majority of them are captains of their squads. 14 have signed to play College Soccer, including two at the D1 level – Amanda Dominguez (Kickapoo) at Arkansas and Jody McFarlen (Bolivar) at Missouri State.

There are 7 players from 4 Class 1 programs in the area, including Shelbee Coward of Laquey who is the first representative from her school. Shelbee played on the boys team for two years until the school implemented a girls program two years ago. She has signed to play basketball for Mineral Area CC after being recognized as an All-State basketball player as well.

There are 6 players from 3 Class 2 programs. The Liberators, fresh from winning their first ever Girls District title (time to freshen up the sign on the concession stand Coach Edge and Coach Fast!) will bring Missouri State recruit Jody McFarlen along with a trio of defensive standouts, including goalie Sara Scott. They are joined by Beth Kittle of West Plains and Bianca Holloway of the Monett Cub’s. Beth has signed with Hannibal-LaGrange (NAIA) while Bianca, who has been playing on the boys team as well as Club soccer, has signed to play for new GLVC program Maryville University in St Louis.

There are 24 players from 12 Class 3 programs. The Kickapoo Chiefs have the largest representation with 4 players but it should be noted 10 of these players have signed to play college ball.

We have one unaffiliated player this year. Jessica Roberts played one year for the Kickapoo Chiefs as a freshman and made a significant impact in that lone season of high school soccer. She and her family moved to Mountain Grove which does not offer any high school soccer but Jessica has maintained her commitment to the sport by playing Club soccer here in Springfield. We are happy to include her in advance of her plans to play College soccer at the IL Institute of Technology, an NAIA program.

There are four goalies, with Lauren Cook of Class 1 Greenwood, Sara Cook of Class 2 Bolivar joining Class 3 representatives Shannon Johnson of Kickapoo and Ashley Bartkoski of Neosho. Ashley will join her brother Scott in being the first brother-sister All-Star representatives. Scott represented Neosho in goal in the first All-Star game in 2003.

Please congratulate the 4th Annual Lady All-Stars!
