A pair of Glacier Peak teammates, junior midfielder Greyden Saunders and senior defender Matt Johnston, were named to the Class 3A first team. Shorecrest senior forward Chris Iacolucci and Shorewood senior defender Justin Collins also made the first team.

A trio of Archbishop Murphy players made the 2A all-state first team: senior forward Christian Thode, sophomore midfielder Brady Henderson and senior defender Tyler Ptacek. Teammate James Bettag, a senior, earned a spot on the second team as a defender.

In 1A, King’s teammates Taylor Moe, a senior, and Ryan Fransen, a junior, were named first-team all-state as a forward and a midfielder, respectively.
