CCSD Senior Named Gatorade Player of the Year
A Cherokee County School District student has been named a Gatorade Player of the Year!
River Ridge High School senior Chris Asbridge is the 2023-24 Gatorade Georgia Boys Soccer Player of the Year, and he’s the first honoree for the sport to be chosen from River Ridge.
A midfielder and forward, Chris helped lead the Knights varsity soccer team to a 21-1 record and the Class 6A state championship earlier this year, earning him the Region 6-AAAAAA Player of the Year award. He’s earned 25 goals and 13 assists so far in his high school varsity soccer career.
The award recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also “high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field.” A member of the Student Athlete Leadership Team (SALT), Chris volunteers as an elementary school mentor and youth soccer coach as well as with his church.
The Cherokee County School Board and Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis at their next meeting will recognize the River Ridge soccer team as Class 6A state champions and Chris for earning Gatorade Player of the Year and Coach Phil Thomas for earning CCSD Coach of the Year.
