Gatorade taps Miller as state's best player
Already an All-State player and the 7A-West Conference's Overall MVP, Miller was awarded another postseason honor Tuesday as Gatorade named her its the 2008-09 Arkansas Girls' Soccer Player of the Year. Miller is the second Lady Tiger to receive the award and the fourth girls' soccer player from Benton County in the last five years. Bentonville's Kelly O'Connor won the award in 2005-06 while Rogers' Samantha Bolton (2004-05) and Alyvia Rogers (2006-07) were also honored. O'Connor and Bolton are now playing at the University of Arkansas and Rogers is at Tulsa. Miller said it feels good to be mentioned in the same breath with those former standouts. "They were all really good soccer players. I just feel honored to be included," Miller said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime award. Not a lot of people get it. It feels good to get it." more |
