Congratulations to the Southwest All-Stars who were named MVP for their respective squads following the game. 
For the Girls Gold squad, Karissa Nedoma (Kickapoo Chiefs/Drury Panthers and pictured at left with Coach Evan Palmer, Nixa) was named MVP for her work on offense. Karissa led an early charge by the Gold team that was only thwarted by the outstanding efforts of the Red goalkeeper. In the second half her fine cross from the right side, off of a long pass from Afton Weimer, found Jackie Sabel in the box. Jackie’s goal reduced the deficit to 3-2 at the time.
The Red squad was represented by goalkeeper Mattie Donnell (Ozark Tigers, pictured at right with Coach Mike Gow, Lebanon) who’s early efforts saved two certain goals and overall effort gave her teammates the confidence to go forward. Donnell credited her Tiger teammate Brooke Neill in an interview with the Christian County News for the solid defense in front of her.
Both players were awarded game balls from the game, which were donated by J&K Soccer.
