Stars collided Friday as North Carolina got engaged and Southlake Carroll, Texas standout Kennedy Fuller received the news that she had won the 2022-23 Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award.
With her teammates and coaches by her side, Mallory Swanson greeted Kennedy in a video chat with the Chicago Red Stars forward and Gatorade’s 2014-2015 National Women’s Soccer Player of the Year, who broke the exciting news. …
Watch the full video below:
Kennedy beat out nearly half a million other student-athletes playing women’s soccer across the country, an impressive achievement in the long line of Gatorade POY winners.
And his achievements also go beyond the soccer field. She is a member of the National Junior Honor Society and the school’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter. She has also volunteered on behalf of G & J Ministries, which helps those in need, and Count Your Blessings, which is a faith-based retail store.
Through it all, he has maintained an A-minus average in the classroom and plans to graduate from school a year early.
Congratulations, Kennedy!
