The boys and girls senior all-star soccer teams from Orange and Seminole counties weathered a chilly Saturday night at Showalter Field in Winter Park to put on quite a showcase for fans.

Orange County came away with big wins in both games.

The Orange County girls scored a 3-0 win behind goals from Timber Creek’s Elizabeth Hagan, Winter Park’s Hannah Madsen and Apopka’s Lindsey Rice. Shelby Kesic (Timber Creek) got most of the work in the net to help secure the shutout.

Most Valuable Player awards went to Orangewood’s Kelsey Affolter and Lake Mary’s Saskia Bryant.

The Orange County boys got three goals from MVP Deividy Cunha (Olympia) and another score from Colonial’s Ricardo King in a 4-1 win in the nightcap. Lake Mary’s Eric Skiko was named Seminole County MVP.

The games will be broadcast this Saturday on Bright House Sports Network Channel 47. The girls game will be shown at 12 noon with the boys game following at 4 p.m.
