SALISBURY — Tonight many of the best high school
soccer players in Maryland will share the same pitch as they show off
their talents in the All-State game to be held at Walter Johnson high
school in Bethesda.
Two local seniors will get to share the stage with the state’s other stars as James M. Bennett forward Gavin Yingling, who was named to the All-State first team, and Washington striker Kyle Simpkins, who was named to the honorable mention squad, will take part in the exhibition match.
“It’s actually kind of funny because I’ve already been to watch one of those games before,” Yingling said.
“My brother (Kyle) made second team All-State (in 2008) so it’s kind of funny that I one upped him. But it’s a big honor because I know not many guys down here get it, there have been a few in the past but not too many.”
In fact just three players from the Bayside Conference have been named to the Maryland Association of Coaches of Soccer since 2008, two boys — JMB’s Kyle Yingling in 2008 and Parkside’s Larry Cornish who earned honorable mention in 2009 — and one girl, Stephen Decatur’s Julia Finecey, who earned second team honors in 2008.
