Accolades for Pinecrest Academy soccer athletes and coach

Published May 16, 2019

CUMMING—Earlier this month when the all-area boys and girls soccer teams for Class 1A-Private Area 8 were announced, Pinecrest Academy had five girls and two boys selected to the area’s first team and four boys and three girls selected to the area’s second team. The all-area teams are chosen by the area head coaches.

Domenic Martelli, who is in his fourth season as head soccer coach, was also named the area’s girls coach of the year. In the soccer team’s ninth season of competing as a Georgia High School Association (GHSA) member, not only did the girls win their first GHSA region title in soccer, but Pinecrest (16-3) competed for the state championship against Wesleyan School (11-6-2) on May 16 at McEachern High School, Powder Springs.
