6A All-Idaho boys soccer team: The best players from the state’s top 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
Isaac Alford
Borah, sr., D
The three-time all-state pick’s impact became painfully evident when he missed eight midseason games. Once he returned, he forced opponents to change tactics and the Lions took off. They didn’t surrender a goal in their final six games for a runner-up finish at state.
COACH OF THE YEAR
Rhys Yeakley
Caldwell
Picked to finish 10th in his own league, he guided the Cougars (16-6-2) to their first state title in the top division.
FIRST TEAM
David Muyolo
Rocky Mountain, sr., F
A nightmare to defend one-on-one, he forced regular double- and triple-teams en route to 14 goals and 18 assists.
Jackson Stephens
Bishop Kelly, sr., F
After spending his junior year in Austin FC’s academy, the High Point commit returned to bury 15 goals for the Knights.
Patrick Kane
Timberline, sr., F
The winger broke down defenders with his technical skills and vision, tallying nine goals and 10 assists in 19 games.
Jordan Shupe
Owyhee, sr., M
His vision connected the Storm’s back and front lines, finding the narrow lanes for 11 goals and five assists.
Amuza Shanti
Timberline, sr., M
He gave the Wolves a physical edge, tracking down attackers and stripping them of the ball with tackles or body checks.
Luis Alonso
Caldwell, jr., M
He led the 6A SIC in goals (19) and points (51) as the linchpin of the state champs’ offense and midfield.
Greyson Pew
Owyhee, sr., D
The College of Idaho commit repeated on the first team as a creative and dangerous force at center back.
Jace Obenchain
Mountain View, sr., D
The outside back and 6A SIC Player of the Year was a potent offensive weapon with 14 goals and 13 assists.
Sergio Gaxiola
Caldwell, jr., D
Described as the state champs’ MVP, the 6-2 center back gave the Cougars a security blanket on their back line.
Ammar Kapidzic
Mountain View, jr., D
The center back covered acres of space to erase threats while adding three goals and four assists.
Christian Griffith
Borah, sr., GK
The four-year starter finished the season with 12 shutouts, a state runner-up trophy and a 48-24-8 career record.
