LEXINGTON — Ryan Parker added to an already impressive résumé Friday afternoon.
The Lexington senior was selected to the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association first team in Division II for a second straight year.
A forward, Parker scored 31 goals and added 21 assists as the Minutemen reached the regional championship match. He is the boys program’s first-ever two-time All-Ohioan.
“To be our first two-time All-Ohioan, let alone a first-team All-Ohioan, that speaks volumes,” Lexington coach Peter Them said. “He was in the conversation for the Division II Player of the Year.”
