Fresh off a regional championship and a return to the Class 6A state quarterfinals, Manhattan High girls\u2019 soccer placed six players on the All-Centennial League teams.<\/p>\n
Junior Lauren Booe and senior Kameron Felice earned first-team honors for the Indians, while Savanna Heitmann and senior Evelyn Thornburg were named second-team selections.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Avarye Meeker and freshman Lexie Oehme rounded out Manhattan\u2019s honorees with honorable mention recognition.<\/p>\n
The awards capped a successful season for the Indians, who finished 10-8-1 and reached the state quarterfinals for the first time since 2023. Manhattan opened postseason play with a 2-0 win over Topeka High before upsetting No. 2 seed Maize 3-2 to claim a regional championship and advance to the final eight.<\/p>\n
Booe, a first-team selection, led Manhattan\u2019s attack throughout the season. Entering the postseason, the junior midfielder paced the Indians with 10 goals and five assists.<\/p>\n
Felice joined Booe on the first team after helping anchor a Manhattan defense that recorded eight shutouts behind junior goalkeeper Jocelynn Gawith.<\/p>\n
Heitmann, a sophomore defender, earned second-team honors after emerging as one of the Indians\u2019 top offensive threats throughout the season, while Thornburg also landed on second team in her final high school season.<\/p>\n
Meeker and Oehme were recognized as honorable mention selections. Oehme made an immediate impact as a freshman forward, joining Meeker as another key underclassman contributor for the Indians.<\/p>\n
Hayden swept the league\u2019s major awards after becoming the third team in Kansas history to end season undefeated, winning the 4-1A state championship with a 21-0 record.<\/p>\n
Senior Carsyn Broxterman was named Player of the Year, freshman Emma Slyter earned Newcomer of the Year and Hayden coach Klaus Kreutzer was selected Coach of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fresh off a regional championship and a return to the Class 6A state quarterfinals, Manhattan High girls\u2019 soccer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,4504,9,24,63,319],"class_list":["post-259412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-manhattan_high","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
