The Goal-Scoring Machines

Some players just know how to find the back of the net. Ryan Hendon from Station Camp leads the scoring pack with a jaw-dropping 41 goals and 14 assists last season. The Wofford signee is the kind of player who can single-handedly change a team's championship odds.

Tristan Ramirez Moreno isn't far behind. The Independence Academy junior powered his team to their first-ever Class A state championship with 37 goals and two assists. When you're looking at teams with state title potential, players like this make all the difference.

Aiden Pierpoint set Page's single-season record with 27 goals. He also holds the career scoring mark at 47 goals. Landon Socha from Liberty Creek notched 23 goals plus 17 assists, showing he's both a scorer and a playmaker.

The Complete Players

Bo Robbins from MBA is the defending Middle Tennessee player of the year. The Dartmouth College signee had 12 goals and six assists while leading MBA to the Division II-AA state championship. That's the complete package - individual excellence and team success.
