The Herald-Tribune compiled lists of Sarasota’s and Manatee’s best girls and boys soccer players. But we didn’t rank them. We gave you the chance to have your say on who is the best.
Here are the results:
Top girls:Who are the Sarasota and Manatee high school girls soccer players to watch in the 2024-25?
School: Parrish Community
Year: Senior
Position: Midfielder/Forward
Highlights: Wagner’s return is essential for a Bulls team that lost three of its four top goal scorers to graduation. She posted nine goals and an assist in 11 matches last season and recently committed to play collegiate soccer at Flagler.
Top boys:Who are the Sarasota and Manatee high school boys soccer players to watch in 2024-25?
School: Palmetto
Year: Junior
Position: Midfielder/Defender
Highlights: Palmetto went 13-4-2 last season and reached the regional playoffs, but lost almost all of its goal scorers to graduation. Aguilar is expected to step in and fill voids across the field as a versatile player who can play nearly any position.
