Two members of the Red Bull Academy Under-18 team have been named Parade High School All-Americans. Forward Walter Hines and midfielder Matt Kassel both received this
prestigious honor.
The duo have been instrumental in the outstanding season the Red Bulls U-18s have been having this season, which saw the team post a 17 match unbeaten streak (11-0-5).
The two young stars have also been recognized with call ups to their respective Under 20 national teams. Kassel was called up to the United States U20s for a series of friendlies with English Premier League Reserve teams, while Hines has been called up to the Costa Rica U20's for World Cup qualifying.
The Red Bull U18s played the US National Team U17s over the weekend, with the US U17s earning a 3-2 win in an exciting match, which saw two goals from Jonny Exantus and the Red Bulls U18s also hit two crossbars. The U18s followed up that match with a 2-2 draw with Empire SC with Kassel and Hines each tallying a goal.
