Note: Check for this team and the Player of the Year feature in the Tuesday, July 18 edition of the PNR.

While there’s only a pair of soccer teams in both Emmet and Charlevoix counties, they make sure the impact is felt year after year.

It seems like one of the four is always making a run once the postseason comes around and its hard to ever count out any when it comes to Big North and Lake Michigan Conference races.

That’s a credit to the youth levels around the area, with great talent building from a young age and all the way through the high school level.

Another standout season from Teagan Inglehart helped the Rams make another postseason run in the Division 4 playoffs.

That talent pool was as deep as ever in 2023, with area players making their presence known to the state across three different divisons.

A strong senior class departs – led by 2023 Area Player of the Year Kate Farley – while nine others who join Farley on the 2023 PNR All-Area Team are also seniors.
