All-star soccer game has county flavor

Published 12:02 pm Monday, January 31, 2011

The 2011 Mississippi Association of Coaches soccer all-star game will feel more like a Warren County scrimmage.

Five players from the county — four of them boys — were selected to participate in the annual all-star game, which will be played Feb. 12 at Clinton High School.

Vicksburg striker Chucky Hayden and defender Tony Davidson will play for the North in the boys’ game, as will Warren Central goal keeper Jamal Brinnon and striker Erik Chappell. Ridgeland coach Preston Nailor, a former Vicksburg High assistant, will coach the North team.

Warren Central forward Chelsea Duett will be the county’s lone representative in the girls’ game, which will begin at 5 p.m. The boys’ game follows at 7. Admission is $5 for both games.

The South girls won last year’s game 6-0 to earn just their third victory in 15 tries. The North boys won 1-0 to gain a slight edge in the series at 10-9-7.
