BOYS

ALL-LEAGUE: Baylor White

A junior, Baylor helped the Spartans achieve historic success with his efforts in between the posts this season. It's his second consecutive year receiving league honors.

Notes from coach Carruth: "As a goalkeeper, Baylor has tremendous upside. At 6 foot 5 inches with elite athletic tools, the sky is the limit for him. He is a fantastic shot blocker with great instincts, bravery and a good command of his box. He's also starting to learn nuances with angle play and starting points which make him increasingly difficult to beat. But what I admire most about him is that he loves the game, loves his teammates and he's willing to make sacrifices and grind it out. This young man is always working on his game, in season and out, rain or shine. As one of our captains, he led by example and provides a template for any of our younger players who want to grow in the game, on and off the field. I hope he decides to keep pouring himself into this thing — because I think he can be very successful at the next level and beyond, and I don't say that lightly."

GIRLS

ALL-LEAGUE: Haley Braae

A senior and receiving league honors for the second consecutive year, Haley, a defender and midfielder, intercepted a countless amount of passes and even added a goal to her career tally this season.

Notes from coach Tucker: "She's irreplaceable. One of the most tenacious, driven athletes I’ve ever coached. She was consistently one of the best players on field no matter who we faced. I’m extremely proud to have had the opportunity to coach her."
