He was also named to the NCSAA/adidas All-Region IV team, as well as the Ohio North ODP team. Greenhill was a two-time All-Cleveland selection, earning first team honors in 2007 and third team in ’06 while being named honorable mention in ’05. He helped his club team, CASA, win the 2007 Ohio State Cup Championship, and currently plays with The Cleveland Internationals US Developmental Academy Team.
