CVC soccer stars set for All-Star showdown Monday at Wickliffe

The Chagrin Valley Conference will celebrate another outstanding high school soccer season Monday, Nov. 9, when some of the league’s top boys and girls players gather at Wickliffe High School for the 2026 CVC Soccer All-Star Games.

The boys will open the doubleheader at 6 p.m., with the Chagrin and Lake divisions joining forces against the Metro and Valley divisions. The girls will follow at 7:30 p.m., when the Chagrin and Metro divisions square off against the Lake and Valley divisions.

The games will feature conference champions, All-Greater Cleveland selections, prolific goal scorers, accomplished goalkeepers, and players who helped their programs advance deep into the OHSAA postseason.

Among the headliners are Eastlake North’s Maddie Flick, who finished with 100 points and 44 goals, Geneva’s Alexander Lee, who recorded 57 points, and Kirtland’s Lexi Vosicky, the Greater Cleveland Soccer Coaches Association Division V Player of the Year.

The all-star celebration also comes on the heels of a historic achievement for Rootstown Boys Soccer, which won its first regional championship Sunday with a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory over previously unbeaten Open Door Christian.

Rootstown’s boys soccer selections will be unable to participate in Monday’s All-Star Game because the Rovers are preparing for Wednesday’s Division V state semifinal against Norwayne. Their absence leaves the Metro/Valley squad without two of its originally selected players, but their achievements provide another reason for the conference to celebrate.

Admission to the all-star event is free.

Boys Soccer: Chagrin/Lake vs. Metro/Valley

Monday, Nov. 9 | 6 p.m. | Wickliffe High School

The boys matchup brings together players from several conference championship teams, including Hawken, Madison, Fairview, Beachwood and Chagrin Falls.

Hawken Boys Soccer captured the Chagrin Division championship with an unbeaten 6-0 conference record and finished 16-2-2 overall.

The Hawks will be represented by forward Brandon Shaw and goalkeeper Parker Branford, both first-team All-Greater Cleveland selections.

Shaw recorded 43 points on 14 goals and 15 assists, ranking among the conference’s leading playmakers. Branford finished with 120 saves, placing fifth among the area’s boys goalkeepers.

They’ll be joined on the Chagrin/Lake squad by Gus Schneider of Chardon, who finished fourth in the conference with 124 saves and also earned first-team All-Greater Cleveland honors.

The combination gives the Chagrin/Lake team two accomplished goalkeepers and an impressive collection of defensive talent.

West Geauga’s Anderson Osolin and Quin Mancino will help anchor the defense, while Harvey’s Arturo Rangel adds another first-team All-Greater Cleveland selection in the midfield.

The Lake Division also brings significant offensive firepower.

Geneva’s Alexander Lee finished fifth among CVC boys soccer players with 57 points, recording 24 goals and nine assists.

Eastlake North’s Antonio Juric added 41 points on 16 goals and nine assists, giving Chagrin/Lake another proven scoring threat.

North teammate Robbie Anthony, a first-team All-Greater Cleveland selection, adds experience and versatility to the midfield and defense.

Madison, the Lake Division champion, contributes Brendyn Kavulich, Gabriel Swinarski and Max Swinarski.

Metro/Valley brings championship experience

The Metro/Valley team will be coached by Roger Brooks of Fairview.

Fairview shared the Metro Division championship with Beachwood after both programs finished 4-0-1 in conference play.

The Warriors will be represented by goalkeeper Isaac Lundenberger and midfielder Logan Melda, while Beachwood contributes Sean Holdbrook-Smith and Daniel Chen.

Independence adds goalkeeper Luke Masek and defender Daniel Alrabady, a first-team All-Greater Cleveland selection. Masek recorded seven shutouts during the season.

Kirtland, which reached the Division V district championship game, will be represented by Tage Crisci and Karlo Cubela.

Crisci earned first-team All-Greater Cleveland recognition, while Cubela received honorable mention.

The Valley Division also includes Berkshire’s versatile Danny Star and Lutheran West’s Jon Pratt and Jonathan Salo.

Ryan Stevenson-Powell will represent Wickliffe on the Metro/Valley All-Star team despite playing his final high school soccer season for Willoughby South. Wickliffe did not field a boys soccer team this fall, allowing Stevenson-Powell to compete for the Rebels while attending Wickliffe.

The matchup creates an interesting reunion, as Stevenson-Powell will face Willoughby South teammate Reid Munson, who was selected to the opposing Chagrin/Lake squad.

Rootstown’s historic run takes priority

Two of the Metro/Valley team’s most accomplished selections won’t be on the field Monday.

Rootstown’s Zach Pastor and Bryson Scarlett will miss the All-Star Game as the Rovers prepare for their first state semifinal appearance in school history.

Pastor leads the CVC boys soccer statistical rankings with 81 points, including 33 goals and 15 assists. Scarlett has also been a key contributor to Rootstown’s attack, recording 13 assists.

Under coach Charlie Voth, Rootstown captured its third consecutive district championship, defeated United in the regional semifinal and then knocked off Open Door Christian, 4-3, in overtime Sunday to claim the Division V Region 17 championship.

The Rovers will face Norwayne on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with a state championship berth on the line.

Although Pastor and Scarlett won’t be available, their selections recognize their contributions to one of the most successful seasons in Rootstown history.

Girls Soccer: Chagrin/Metro vs. Lake/Valley

Monday, Nov. 9 | 7:30 p.m. | Wickliffe High School

The girls’ matchup features some of the conference’s most productive offensive players, several first-team All-Greater Cleveland selections and representatives from teams that enjoyed lengthy postseason runs.

The Lake/Valley squad will be coached by Wickliffe’s Erin Behm and features the conference’s leading scorer in Flick.

The Eastlake North senior recorded 44 goals and 12 assists for 100 points, becoming the only player in the supplied CVC girls soccer rankings to reach the century mark.

North teammate Mallory Kramer finished with 54 points on 20 goals and 14 assists.

Together, Flick and Kramer accounted for 154 points, making them one of the conference’s most dangerous scoring combinations.

Wickliffe’s Isabella DeFrank provides another significant offensive threat.

DeFrank recorded 48 points on 20 goals and eight assists while helping Wickliffe capture a Division V district championship.

She also earned first-team All-Greater Cleveland recognition.

Kirtland’s Vosicky adds another decorated player to the Lake/Valley lineup.

The senior midfielder earned GCSSCA Division V Player of the Year honors and finished among the CVC’s assist leaders with 16.

Vosicky helped the Hornets advance to the Division V regional championship game before their season ended with a 3-0 loss to unbeaten Chippewa. Kirtland finished 17-5-1.

Goalkeeper Katherine Bradshaw, who made 98 saves during the season, will join Vosicky in representing the Hornets.

Chagrin Falls, which captured the Valley Division championship and advanced to a Division IV regional final, contributes goalkeeper Harper Stewart and defender Katie Rosner.

The Tigers finished 12-6-3 after falling to Liberty-Benton in the regional championship game.

The Lake Division also features representatives from Geneva and Madison, which shared the conference championship.

Chagrin/Metro counters with defense and balance

The Chagrin/Metro squad features players from West Geauga’s Chagrin Division championship team, Cuyahoga Heights’ Metro Division championship program, and several other successful teams.

West Geauga finished 16-3-2 after advancing to the Division III regional semifinals.

The Wolverines will be represented by Faelynn Beckrest, who recorded 14 assists, and Ava Borz.

Chardon sends two first-team All-Greater Cleveland selections in Jayne Fullerman and Rylee Nelson.

Fullerman finished with 17 goals, while Nelson recorded 16 goals and 14 assists. The pair helped Chardon finish 11-5-2.

Hawken’s Caroline Briggs adds another first-team All-Greater Cleveland selection to the defensive unit.

The Metro Division brings additional talent from Cuyahoga Heights, Fairview, Beachwood and Independence.

Cuyahoga Heights finished 15-3-1 and captured the Metro Division championship.

The Red Wolves will be represented by Kaitlyn Amari and Sophia Meklemberg.

Fairview contributes Emily Larkin and Bella Pecchio-Schuerger, both first-team All-Greater Cleveland selections.

Independence goalkeeper Kylie Hanobik recorded 114 saves, fifth among the conference’s girls soccer goalkeepers.

Hanobik’s experience provides another strong presence behind a Chagrin/Metro defensive unit filled with experienced upperclassmen.

An evening to celebrate CVC soccer

While the games will provide an opportunity for conference rivals to become teammates, the evening also recognizes the dedication and accomplishments of athletes across all four CVC divisions.

Several participating players have helped their schools win conference championships, district titles, and regional tournament games. Others have earned individual honors or established themselves among the area’s statistical leaders.

For many seniors, Monday’s games will provide one final opportunity to represent their schools on the soccer field.

For the younger selections, the All-Star Games offer an opportunity to compete alongside and against many of the conference’s most accomplished players.

And with Rootstown continuing its historic postseason journey, the conference’s soccer season isn’t quite finished.
