Three weeks ago, we scouted athletes for the Marion County preseason boys all-star soccer team. Now, we’re here to review those 13 teammates a month into the season.
You may notice a few changes from our original group of participants. That was to be expected once everyone when the cleats meet the pitch for the first time. Now that the top goal scorers, assists leader, and top defensive numbers are in front of you it’s time to decide which of these players have the best chance to win 2025-26 boys soccer player of the year.
Voting is open through Wednesday, December 3rd. Get in on the action now. You’ll want to have bragging rights when your favorite athlete hoists their award during the annual MESPY’s award show.
