Yackey helped the Vikings to a 15-win season and its first state playoff victory in more than a dozen years.
“Brock was our defensive leader and soul of the team. Without taking away anything from anybody else on the team, Brock was the anchor of the team,” Avery head soccer coach Tom Evaul said of his senior standout when he was recognized with his fellow seniors at the conclusion of the regular season. “When he had a bad game, or was not on the field, we struggled. He has had a fantastic senior year, and he will be sorely missed next year.”
Yackey was recognized, in addition to his fellow All-State selections, at a banquet held in Greensboro last Sunday, Jan. 23.
