The Kansas High School Soccer Coaches Association has announced its All-State teams and players and coaches of the year for each of the three girls’ classifications.
St. Thomas Aquinas dominated the individual honors in Class 5A after winning its fourth consecutive state title. Junior Anisten Cabantac repeated as midfielder of the year, while senior Jane Hansen earned her second straight defender of the year honor. Saints senior Maggie Payne was named goalkeeper of the year, while Dan Brown took coach of the year honors after guiding Aquinas to a 19-1 record.
A pair of seniors, Maize South’s Kyndal Ewertz and Blue Valley Southwest’s Hannah Palmer, shared the 5A forward of the year award.
In Class 6A, Blue Valley West’s Kyle Conley earned coach of the year honors after leading the Jaguars to their 10
th state championship and first under his guidance. Olathe Northwest, which reached the 6A quarterfinals, had the forward of the year in freshman Jacy Hackler and defender of the year in senior Cami Abendroth.
Mill Valley senior Kate Ricker was named 6A midfielder of the year, while Blue Valley Northwest senior Nimu Kirani earned goalkeeper of the year honors.
The Class 4-1A individual honors had a familiar ring to them after Bishop Miege won its eighth consecutive state title. The Stags’ Livi Shull was named goalkeeper of the year for the third consecutive year – sharing the honor with Wichita Classical’s Greer Kice – while Miege senior Kate Pedrotti repeated as defender of the year.
Miege’s Dory Latenser and Cair Paravel’s Katherine Keys were co-forwards of the year for the second straight year, while Stags coach Nate Huppe took coach of the year once again. Baldwin senior Bailey Smith was selected as midfielder of the year after helping the Bulldogs reach the state quarters.
