The votes are in, and the Battle Creek Enquirer's "Best of Battle Creek" (B.O.B.) poll for high school girls soccer has crowned a standout striker. After tallying thousands of reader votes, one name rose above the rest: Lilamae Frank of Lakeview High School, with Brooklyn Harkenson of Harper Creek securing a strong second place.

What makes Frank the top gun in the area? Coaches and fans alike praise her as a captain who leads by example. Described as an explosive striker with raw power and blistering speed, she's already racked up seven goals and nine assists in just seven games this season—numbers that would make any soccer enthusiast take notice. Her credentials go beyond this year: Frank earned all-state, all-area, and all-league honors last season, and she's committed to playing Division I soccer at Ball State University.

For young players looking to elevate their game, Frank's blend of athleticism and leadership is a blueprint for success. Whether you're a striker yourself or just love the beautiful game, keep an eye on this rising star as she continues to light up the pitch.
