4A All-Idaho boys soccer team: The state’s top players from its deepest division
Note: The All-Idaho teams are chosen by each classification’s coaches. The Idaho Statesman hosts the voting process and publishes the results.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Cesar Muralles
Wendell, jr., F
The 5-4 ‘”firecracker” didn’t impress many stepping off the bus. His play was another story. Muralles racked up 25 goals and 24 assists in 23 games. He then strapped the champs on his back at state, factoring into all seven Wendell goals, with five himself and two helpers.
COACH OF THE YEAR
Felipe Paniagua
Wendell
He led a junior-heavy squad to a 20-1-2 record and the third state championship in program history.
FIRST TEAM
Nikita Rawson
Bonners Ferry, sr., F
The team leader only needed 16 games to top all classifications with 37 goals while adding 12 assists.
Eli Blackmore
Bonners Ferry, sr., F
The versatile weapon paired with Rawson to form a one-two punch, finishing with 30 goals and 19 assists.
Gordon Petterson
Sugar-Salem, sr., F
The two-time, first-team pick tallied 32 goals and 15 assists, setting a program record for career assists (51).
Cesar Camargo
Wendell, jr., M
The winger produced plenty of stats (23 goals, 15 assists) but also had a knack coming up in the clutch.

Soloman Arndt
McCall-Donnelly, sr., D
