Machaela Graddy's prowess as a soccer player at Eatonville High School has gained statewide attention with her selection for the All-State class 1A team for the 2012 season. The honor was voted on by members of the Washington State Soccer Coaches Association (WSSCA). Graddy was chosen as a forward. It's the second post-season award for Graddy. Nisqually League coaches named her the league's Most Valuable Player on offense and part of the All-Nisqually squad.

Graddy scored her team's goal. In addition to Graddy, three other Nisqually League players - Seattle Christian teammates Kimber Howard, Morgan Gaston and Erin Swain - were named to the All-State team.
