Trio of Benjamin Russell soccer players honored with statewide recognition

Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Benjamin Russell's Kylee Stark (7) was an extremely versatile defender who rarely left the field for the Wildcats this season.

It’s always a big deal if a team has a single player elected for a statewide recognition, but it’s even more impressive when the same team has three players honored.

Benjamin Russell’s girls soccer team did just that as three juniors were named honorable mention for the United Soccer Coaches Association Alabama chapter team. The coaches association selects the top players from around the state regardless of classification, and Kylee Stark, Jordan Osborne and Abigale Sims were all picked as honorable mentions.
