Browder, a junior midfielder and Bell, a senior defender, were also selected to the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association's 3-A All-State Team - a first not only for Rocky Mount, but for Nash County as well.

Gryphon players also voted to the first team were junior forward Kasey Cooke, senior forward Lauren Smith, senior defender Brittany Kropp and junior goalkeeper Tyisha Hardy. RMHS freshman defender Emily Vick was an honorable mention selection.
