Always ready to execute during matches, or at least attempt any sort of elusive dribbling trick learned in practice, and often the most confident Lady Bobcat to do so; now-graduated senior midfielder Cheyenne Cook was the lone Ignacio player named First Team All-Southwestern [Class 3A] Girls’ Soccer after the conclusion of the 2014 season.
Two goals to her name during a difficult 0-12 [overall, SWL] slate, she was joined in receiving some postseason props by now-graduated Honorable Mention All-SWL senior defender Jasmine Red (one goal), as well as freshman forward Tori Archuleta, IHS’ Sportsman of the Year honoree.
Representing Southwestern champions Alamosa (12-3-1, 11-1-0) on the First Team were Nicole Broyles, Darby Bolt, Tayleur Hillis, Taylor Nye and Emily Novotny. SWL runners-up Bayfield (10-5-1, 9-2-1) was represented by Sonja Fleming, Jaida Ross, Maddy Duran and Bryannah Isiordia.
Rounding out the First Team were: Karla Martinez, Maddie Johnson and Kenzie Zaumseil (Telluride); Faith Stults, Megan McKibbon, Lizbeth Beltran (Center); Johannah Laverty, Shannel Wilson (Pagosa Springs); Grace Benasutti, Leta McNatt (Ridgway).
Also named Honorable Mention were: Jessica Berlinger, Amanda Martinez (AHS); Meaghan Mooney, Andrea Zelinski (BHS); Cirkine Sherry, Jenni Ruud (THS); Norma Chavez (CHS); Anissa Lucero (PSHS); Hannah Morris (RHS).
Finally, the league’s other Sportsman of the Year choices were: Edith Arias (AHS), Kate Brennan (BHS), Ting Taylor (THS), Olivia Reinhardt (PSHS) and Benasutti (RHS). Center’s selected player was not reported.
AHS’ Hillis was named Player-of-the-Year, teammate Sara Berlinger the Goalkeeper of the Year and first-year skipper Hawken Hanna the SWL’s Coach of the Year.
