Aidan Morrison kept the accolades going this week, as the senior midfielder was named the District 19-6A MVP for the second straight season.

Morrison had a big senior year and capped it off by winning MVP of the Class 6A State Tournament game, leading the Spartans to a win in the process. He was joined by two other Spartans on the superlatives list of the district awards, with junior forward Kortay Koc being named the districts forward of the year and goalkeeper Ben Aviles Vera being named the goalie of the season. Aviles Vera had a huge year, giving up just 16 goals all season while Koc became the Spartans all-time leading goal scorer and helped the Spartans score 113 goals on the year while they went on to win their second straight state championship.

Jordan had two players named to the superlatives list, Marcelo Ojeda earned midfielder of the year honors and Kaelen Vilarson was named the districts newcomer of the year. The duo helped the Warriors clinch a playoff spot for the third straight year and also get to the third round of the playoffs, where the Warriors took eventual state champs Seven Lakes to penalties.

Cinco Ranch capped off the superlatives list with two athletes of their own. Ossian Elgstrom was named the districts defensive player of the year, while Adrian Correa was named co-newcomer of the year. Both had great seasons, with Elgstrom helping Cinco only concede 26 goals on the year and Correa helping the Cougars score 60 times on the season as Cinco made a run all the way to the Region III-6A final.

Seven lakes and Cinco Ranch led the way on the district’s first team, with both pacing four on it. Seven lakes put Daniel Ejerenwa, Noa Stasic, Sean Carlos Rivera and Noah Peterson on the first team, while Cinco Ranch had Noah Machart, Ronan Ochsner, Tomek Rusak and Andres Riera named to the first team. Jordan and Tompkins had three named to the first team. Jordan with Ryan Armijo, Chris Segura and Aiden Erol being placed first team, while Tompkins’ Roman Ryabchenko, Adetola Fasade and Brayden Lehner joined them on the first team. Paetow placed Cesar Garcia and Roberto Sepulveda on the first team, Taylor had Jamison Lilley and Isaac Morales on the first team and Katy’s Leo Sanches, Mayde Creek’s Danie Solorio and Morton Ranch’s Walter Josue Valencia rounded out the first team.

Seven Lakes again led the way on the second team. Diego Flamenco, Fernando Lao, Jack Robertson and Josh Taylor were all named second team all-district. Tompkins placed three on the second team, in Ryan Sharma, Alonson Basterra and Eloy Ferrer and Cinco joined with three on the second team in Miguel Leitte, Sebastian Cobuan and Carter Moring. Jordan placed Elijah Betancourt and Sebastian Arrieta on the second team, Katy placed Eli McDaniel and Angelo Barbieri on the second team, Mayde Creek placed Ray Martinez and Santiago Cardenas on the second team, Morton Ranch had Rogel Avila-Navarro and Manuel Munoz-Albano on the second team,  Paetow placed Dionizy Gonzalez and Azael Ochoa on the second team and Taylor had Owen Helly and Jordan Aaney make the second team.

Each team had two players named honorable mentions. Cinco Ranch’s Santiago Sar and Flynn Suther, Jordan’s Dylan Hout and Owen Rodgers, Katy’s John Rodriguez and Anthony Ayodele, Mayde Creek’s Carlos Rosales and Isaac Guerra, Morton Ranch’s Wyatt Martinez and Joel Herrera Zometa, Paetow’s Brady Wade and Nathan Anwana, Seven Lakes’ Jesus Duque and Sam Harpole, Taylor’s Jean Esaona and Matthew Swaney and Tompkins’ Jacob Robisch and Rohan Anano were all honorable mentions.
