Prep Soccer: Eckley, Laraba and Seams earn all-state honors

The West Virginia High School Soccer Coaches Association released it’s all-state teams Monday with three area Class AAA players making the first-team cut.

Beckley seniors Evan Laraba and Carson Eckley closed their careers with first-team selections while Greenbrier East’s Adam Seams joined the duo.

East’s Steven Martinez and Oak Hill’s Tony Clacker were named to the second team.

Laraba, a center back, scored four goals this past season but answered the bell when the Flying Eagles needed him the most. In the sectional championship against Greenbrier East he moved to keeper, securing two saves to help Beckley win the sectional title.

Eckley was an electric offensive player, scoring 25 goals and notching seven assists. The honors didn’t stop there for the senior duo as Laraba was named the Class AAA Defender of the Year while Eckley earned Forward of the Year honors.

Both Eckley and Laraba were named Region 3 first-teamers and were joined by teammate Hayden Johnson, East’s Seams, Martinez and Chase Mizia, Oak Hill’s Clacker and Colten Workman and Princeton’s Mason Bolton, Ashton Burgess and Casey Geso.
