This winter, Friends Academy Girls Varsity Soccer player senior Danielle Davis joined 39 other high school girls across her East Coast region to play in the High School All-American Soccer Game in Panama City Beach, FL – a match-up between the east and west.
"Danielle shined right from the start as one of the East Coast Team's 11 starters," recapped Friends Academy Girls Varsity Soccer Coach Vincenza DeCrescenzo. "Every time Dani got the ball she was able to dribble around and distribute the ball to her teammates. She was very composed and the talent on the West Coast Team proved no challenge to her at all," added Coach DeCrescenzo.
Evenly matched, the first half ended and tied at 1-1. In the second half, the action heated up and the goals came flying as Danielle's team pushed on the pedal and ultimately beat the West Coast team, 7-3.
Danielle will be graduating early and starting at her recruited school, Clemson, this January. "In her last week as a Friends Academy student, she continues to make her Friends Academy coaches and teammates proud with her consistent commitment to work hard and with her dedication to the sport of soccer," remarked Coach DeCrescenzo. "Congratulations Dani and Coach Alana, Coach Dooley, and I will miss you!"
