A Pella soccer standout played in her final high school soccer competition Saturday. Grace Held competed in the East-West All Star Soccer game at Drake Stadium with the best soccer players in Iowa. Kelsey Ryan of Knoxville also competed for the east team. Pella Head Coach Mark Howard was the leader of the East All-Star squad, and says Held was inches away from a header on a corner after a 0-0 tie for the majority of the contest. The West won the game one-nil. Howard said it was a fun day and the second time he’s been lucky enough to coach in this exhibition. He says it was fun to see the girls they competed against and get to know them as competitors on the same team. Josie Lickteig was invited to compete, but did not perform due to a scheduling conflict.
