Clarke County senior forward Caleb Neiman is the Class 2 Player of the Year, and Clarke County Head Coach Patrick Casey is the Class 2 Coach of the Year.
Neiman set a school record with 45 goals this season for the Eagles and 11 assists. His assist led to the game-winning goal in Clarke County’s 3-2 semifinal win over Radford. His second-half goal in the state finals provided the Eagles with their third goal to increase their lead to 3-1.
Casey led the Eagles to a 22-0 overall record and a 3-2 win over Glenvar in the state finals. It’s Clarke County’s fourth state title and its first since 2006.
