Griffin Jende, who set program records at Pewaukee High School for career goals and assists, recently added another accolade to his stellar prep soccer resume before starting his college career at Marquette in a few weeks.

Jende was one of 87 players – and one of 35 boys – named 2015-16 High School Scholar All-Americans by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

The forward, who had 32 goals (10 game-winners) and 18 assists for the Pirates as a senior last fall, graduated last month with a 3.81 grade-point average. Jende finished with 90 goals and 45 assists for Pewaukee in his four seasons.

  • Forwards Blake Carr (Hartland Arrowhead) and Alec Philippe (Milwaukee Marquette), who shared the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association Player of the Year award as seniors in 2015, were both named to the Top Drawer Soccer 2015 Fall Boys All-Great Lakes Region team. The regional squad recognized players from Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The website also announced 19 players as Wisconsin all-stars, a group that included Jende, Carr and Philippe.
