Cabell Buechner (Sr. Skyridge): All-American four-year starting midfielder was still the spoke of the Falcon wheel though he had plenty of help this year. Scored 50 goals, made 39 assists, collected 111 ground balls and 50 takeaways. “He was one of the best 11 players in the state and had the stats to support it,” said Coach Bart Butterfield. “Beyond that, Cabell was the off-field leader that coaches dream of. He’s consistent, he’s a hard worker and he is a great teammate.”
Most Inspirational Player
Dylan Forsgren (Sr. Skyridge): Attacker “exemplifies what it means to be an inspirational player,” Coach Butterfield said. “While he was not selected as a team captain by either the coaching staff or his teammates, Dylan responded to that disappointment with remarkable maturity, resilience, and character. Rather than allowing the setback to affect his attitude or commitment, he chose to lead through his actions every day.

“Throughout the season, Dylan consistently demonstrated a team-first mindset. He worked tirelessly to improve his own game, became one of our most productive offensive players, and accumulated significant statistical contributions that helped drive our team’s success. More importantly, he never allowed personal recognition to become his motivation. His focus remained on helping the team achieve its goals.
“Dylan also embraced the responsibility of mentoring younger players within the program. He invested time in developing teammates, offering encouragement, sharing his experience, and helping create a positive culture that extended beyond the varsity roster. His willingness to support others, regardless of his own circumstances, earned the respect of players and coaches alike.
“What makes Dylan truly inspirational is the way he handled adversity. He faced disappointment, remained positive, continued to work hard, and ultimately became an example for everyone in the program. His perseverance, selflessness and commitment to the team demonstrate the values this award is intended to recognize,” Butterfield said. Scored 53 goals, made 27 assists and tallied 30 ground balls plus 15 takeaways.
