Two members of the Louisburg High School boys soccer team were recently selected among the top players in the state.

Senior Cale Schneider and junior Noah Juarez were recently selected to the Class 4-3-2-1A all-state second team by the Kansas Soccer Coaches Association. This was the third time Juarez has been named to the all-state team and it was the first selection for Schneider.

“I am extremely happy and proud that two of our boys made second team all-state,” former Louisburg coach Ben York said. “For Cale this was his first year on the all-state team and a very well deserved one.

“For Noah, I was hoping that he would have been selected to the first team and I definitely believe that he was right there with the caliber of athletes picked for first team. Nevertheless it’s a great honor to make either team. Noah is an exceptional athlete and a top level soccer player in the state. I see great things in his future. I really enjoyed coaching both of them in my final year.”

Schneider was recognized for his work on the defensive end, even though his season started out as a forward. He opened the year with a hat trick (three goals) against Fort Scott, but the team needed help more on the defensive side.

York moved him to the sweeper spot and he became a vital part of the defense for the remainder of the year.

As for Juarez, a midfielder, this was his second time he earned second team all-state honors and was an honorable mention selection his freshman year. Juarez finished with a team-high 11 goals to along with nine assists.
