Orr, Doyle receive recognition from peers

Win or lose at this weekend's Class 3 final four, Central has already taken home a couple of accolades.

Central senior Heath Orr, who has scored a school-record 35 goals, was voted all-Midwest by the Missouri State High School Soccer Coaches Association earlier this week. There were 39 players nominated with only two receiving all-American honors and six selected all-Midwest. Orr received the fourth highest vote total.

"Heath had a phenomenal year," Central coach Tom Doyle said.

Doyle was voted the large schools coach of the year. Missouri schools were broken into small schools, large schools and private schools.

"It's a tribute to the season," Doyle said. "When you have the success that we've had you're going to get awards and tributes. I haven't coached any different."
