Central’s soccer teams had an amazing season across the board, with talented players on both teams. Five players from Central were especially recognizable in All-State Soccer this year. Seniors, Maddie Tracy, Luke Pankratz, and Cole Bland were all admitted this year as well as Junior, Logan Hutzenbiler, and Freshman, Emerson Dull.
It was not hard to see that both soccer teams were united, which helped them in the season leading up to the championship games. Reflecting on the season, senior, Maddie Tracy stated, “We had very good chemistry as a team and had a style of play that helped us be so successful.” Being as unified as the teams were, they were able to have a great season filled with success.

Both Luke Pankratz and Maddie Tracy have 13 years of experience playing soccer. They value the sport and enjoy being a part of Central’s soccer program. Tracy explained, “The sport means so much to me. It has taught me many life lessons, and it has given me incredible teammates who are all now some of my closest friends.”

Central is very proud of all of the soccer player who made All-State this year, and we admire their hard work and love for the sport. All are known to be great teammates and those who are Seniors will be missed in next year’s season.
