Three members of the Fellowship Christian School (FCS) varsity girls’ soccer team – Elizabeth Johnson and twin sisters Emma and Emily Sonnett - have all earned Division I college soccer scholarships.
The trio signed their letters of intent during a ceremony at FCS on Feb. 1: Emma and Elizabeth with the University of Georgia and Emily with the University of Virginia.
"It is indeed a great honor for these three stellar student-athletes as well as for Fellowship," said FCS girls soccer coach Trip Hughes. "Having three of our team members sign National Letters of Intent to play soccer at the next level is a wonderful prelude to our season. I know each of these girls will excel at the next level and look forward to following their achievements."
Emma Sonnett, a four-year starter and two-year captain at FCS, Emily Sonnett and Johnson led the Lady Paladins to the 2010-11 state semifinals. All three players are also nine-year members of the North Atlanta Soccer Association (NASA).
Emma Sonnett, a defender, is the Bulldogs' third ESPN Top 150 signee, garnering the accolade after being named an ESPN third-team All-America in 2010.
"Emma has really come into her own over this past year as a high level defender," UGA head coach Steve Holeman said. "She's fast, strong and courageous and can play with either foot, and she's a very good header of the ball. Emma reads the game well and has excellent defensive instincts and her communication has improved dramatically. She'll make an excellent addition to our corps of defenders."
A midfielder, Emily Sonnett is a member of the U.S. U18 Women’s National Team. She was also named as a First-Team ESPN All-American in Aug. 2011. Her twin sister was selected for the third team on that same squad. Emma was also named to the All-Region Team in 2010-11. The Sonnetts, both Marietta natives, and Johnson all spent the past nine years as members of the NASA elite teams. The trio led their NASA club to the U.S. national semifinals and a Region III Championship in 2011. They also helped NASA earn the 2010 U.S. Youth National League Championship and the 2010 Disney Tournament Championship. Their squads also advanced to the Region III Finals in 2009, and the Region III quarterfinals in 2008. Johnson and the Sonnetts helped their NASA team capture the Region III League Championship in 2008, and back-to-back Georgia State Cup Championship from 2007-2008. They also helped their NASA team notch the championship at the 2007 Washington Area Girls Soccer Championship.

KENNESAW, Ga. - A teacher and soccer coach from Kennesaw died Friday from injuries suffered after being hit by an SUV.
Jeffery Ingram, 32, was hit by an SUV early Thursday morning while he went for a jog in his neighborhood.
Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil for Ingram Friday night at the Quest Soccer Field, where Ingram, known as "Coach Jay," coached soccer since 1995.
"He was the most inspirational man to me and he taught me to always believe in myself, and he gave me the self confidence to always strive forward, push forward," said Allie Grisi.
Ingram was also a physical education teacher at Kennesaw Charter Science and Math Academy.
“The guy’s just full of life and energy. I mean he changed a room when he walked into it. He’s just a phenomenal human being,” said Dave Smith.
Ingram's father and stepmother stood in the crowd at the vigil and were moved by the stories they heard.
"I just loved my son and it shows a testament...of the great things he's done," said Jeffery Ingram, Sr.
"It is very rewarding to see that he loved so many children and his family so much," said Stephanie Ingram, Jeff's stepmother.
Police said Ingram was hit by behind while jogging. Police are still investigating the incident. No arrests have been made.
Ingram leaves a wife and two young children.
