Garret Jackson, a rising senior at Bellevue High School and defender for Crossfire Premier’s U.S. Soccer Academy team, picked up another honor recently when he was named to the U-17/18 West Conference Starting XI.

Jackson has started 25 games for Crossfire this season for head coach Bernie James and has netted a pair of goals.

The team, chosen from among players on 18 academy teams from Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and British Columbia, included only one Crossfire player in Jackson and only three from Washington squads.
