Media all-state boys soccer team announced

And, without further adieu, the last of the media all-state spring sports teams -- boys soccer.

I want to give a shoutout to my media brethren, who returned their ballots in such a timely fashion that this is the earliest release date for the spring sports teams. I had pretty good response, too -- at least nine votes in each category, with as many as 15 in several.

Remember, to receive recognition, a player had to receive at least two votes.
