Ambere Barnett continues to receive more and more honors as the Aces soccer star and 2017 Miss Kentucky Soccer will play in the 2017 High School All-American Soccer Game this Saturday, December 2, 2017, in Orlando, FL.
The tournament started by Eric Stratman who for several years had always wondered why there wasn’t an all-american game for soccer players like there is for so many other sports. Every year Stratman said he was going to change that and every year it never happened. So finally, after the 2010 season completed he decided not to wait anymore and it was time to start the process.
Starting an All-American game in soccer is unique to any other sport because high school soccer isn’t played all at the same time. Some states play in the fall, some the spring and some in the winter. In order to get the foundation set the tournament would focus on having a game for fall playing states only and start with just a boys game in 2011. Birmingham, AL, was the initial site chosen because it was where the men’s NCAA Division I college cup was being played. After two years of the boys game, we started a fall girls game.
The 2017 Boys and Girls high school soccer Fall All-American game will be held on December 2, 2017 at Celebration High School in Orlando, FL. with the girl’s game at 11:00 AM E.T. and the boys game at 1:00 PM E.T.
Ambere is a part of the WEST Team which includes players from states from the Mid-West to the West Coast facing an Est team with players from primarily the East Coast!
