Tri-Central High
School had two soccer players, Kevin Ray and Kyle Wyant, who were nominated and
selected to play in an East vs. West 1A All-Star Game.
The East vs. West All-Star games will take place Thursday, June 25 at Blackford
County High School in Hartford City. Games will start at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m.
and 5 p.m.
Ray was a three-year starter and a co-captain his senior year. His main playing
positions were fullback and sweeper. His senior year he also played midfield.

“Kevin is an excellent cover defender and really stabilized the defense at
sweeper his senior year,” Tri-Central Coach David Mast said.
Ray was named the 2008 Best Defensive Player; 2008 Most Valuable Player and 2008
All-Hoosier Heartland Conference.
Wyant was a two-year starter and a co-captain his senior year. His main playing
position was goalie. His junior year he recorded five shutouts and had only one
game with more than two goals scored against him (three goals vs. Northwestern).

“His senior year, due to 11 players graduating, he was pressed into field play
and played just about every position during the season,” Mast said.
He was the recipient of TC’s Soccer Mental Attitude Award in 2007 and 2008 and
also was selected All-HHC in 2007 and 2008.
In addition to the games, the two Trojan players will be honored at a selection
ceremony on June 6 at Indiana Weslyan University.
