The inaugural class of Under Armour All-Americans was filled this week with the announcement of the girls? All-American teams and the Baltimore All-Stars for a tournament to be held at Towson University?s Unitas Stadium June 18.

The All-American girls team will play at 5 p.m. and the All-American boys will have the night cap at 7 p.m. and will be televised live on ESPN U.

Baltimore made a hefty contribution to the All-American girls? South team, placing 16 players on the squad of 23 members. That is double the number on the boys? South team, which has only eight Baltimore players.

Selected for the South team are Bretton Bathras (Severn), Megan Bosica (Mt. Hebron), Kim Dubansky (McDonogh), Caitlin Formby (Notre Dame Prep), Ali Flury (Broadneck), Melanie Hilbush (McDonogh), Angela Hughes (North Carroll), Brittany Kalkstein (Roland Park), Marye Kellerman (Maryvale Prep), Chelsea Kirk (Roland Park), Caitlyn McFadden (Notre Dame Prep), Alex Mundy (Glenelg), Allison Perkins (St. Mary?s), Samantha Schrum (St. Mary?s), Katelyn Strasdauskas (John Carroll) and Caity Whiteley (St. Paul?s).

McFadden, a midfielder, is excited to play. “It?s going to be a really good experience,” she said. “I know a lot of the girls on the team already. It?s going to be great to play together one last time before we all go away to college.”

Mount Hebron coach Brooke Kuhl-McClelland will be taking the reigns of the Baltimore All-Stars in the girls? underclassmen game and Calvert Hall coach Bryan Kelly will be the head coach for the boys Baltimore All-Star Team.
