SMU-bound Ramon Nunez, ranked the No. 1 men's college recruit by Soccer America, earned MVP honors at the McDonald's All American High School Soccer Games Sunday in Charleston, S.C.
Nunez and fellow Dallas area players Kenny Cooper (also headed to SMU) and Jaime Watson (U-17 forward headed to North Carolina) all scored in the second half to lead the West boys to a 4-0 win over the East all-stars.
Vedad Ibisevic teamed by with fellow Saint Louis recruit Will John for the fourth goal in the 70th minute. Rutgers-bound Billy Chiles held the West scoreless in the first half to claim Most Valuable Goalkeeper honors.
The East girls won, 4-1. MVP Jessica Bayne (headed to Illinois), Ashley Foster (Texas), Katherine Krambeer (Texas A&M) and Jenny Maurer (Boston College) scored for the East. Marian Dalm (Santa Clara) had the lone West goal.
The second annual all-star game drew about 1,500 fans at Blackbaud Stadium.
