All-state soccer: Meet the 2023 boys first-team Super-Staters

(𝑭) 𝑳𝑨𝑵𝑬 𝑲𝑹𝑼𝑺𝑬, 𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑵 𝑺𝑶𝑼𝑻𝑯𝑾𝑬𝑺𝑻

Year: Senior.

The resume: The Concordia soccer commit set the school record for goals in a season with 21, including nine game-winning goals. Kruse had an assist or goal in 15 of the Silver Hawks' 18 matches.

Defining moments: “We were knotted 2-2 with Lincoln Southeast in the HAC tournament semifinal. We had a good chat during the intermission and 90 seconds into the second half, Lane received a ball down the line. He fended off two defenders — dribbling approximately 60 yards — cut in on his weaker left foot and drilled a shot into the bottom left corner. We went on to win the match 5-2. That run and finish was pure class.” — Lincoln Southwest coach Derek Scheich.

(𝑭) 𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑵 𝑴𝑨𝑪𝑲𝑬, 𝑷𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰𝑶𝑵-𝑳𝑨 𝑽𝑰𝑺𝑻𝑨 𝑺𝑶𝑼𝑻𝑯

Year: Senior.

The resume: Macke’s school-record 22 goals led Class A. When defenses upped the pressure, he dished for 15 assists, a key in the Titans reaching the state semifinals for the first time in 11 years.

Defining moments: “In the Metro Tournament, he knew he had to involve his teammates more and had two goals and five assists on his way to earning player of the tourney and securing just our second Metro championship in school history.” — Papillion-La Vista South coach Dave Lawrence

(𝑭) 𝑨𝒀𝑶 𝑴𝑨𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑫𝑬, 𝑩𝑬𝑵𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑶𝑵

Defining moments: “We were down by a goal at halftime against Elkhorn North in an away game. Ayo shook off the mounting frustrations and found the game-winner in the second half. He calmly received the ball in traffic, beat his defender, and then placed it across the face of the goal, beating the keeper with a well-placed shot.” — Bennington coach Nick Nyman.

PHOTO BY KATY COWELL, OMAHA WORLD-HERALD

(𝑭) 𝑴𝑨𝑮𝑼𝑰𝑹𝑬 𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑺, 𝑮𝑹𝑬𝑻𝑵𝑨

Defining moments: “He’s a goal machine from the attacking midfield position. He’s extremely dangerous on the dribble, can strike from distance from beyond the 18-yard box and can finish anything with one touch.” — Omaha Westside coach Mike Dean.

PHOTO BY KENNETH FERRIERA, JOURNAL STAR

(𝑫) 𝑻𝑶𝑴𝑴𝑰𝑬 𝑺𝑻𝑼𝑴𝑷𝑭𝑭, 𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑵 𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑻

Year: Senior.

The resume: Stumpff helped Lincoln East make a late-season surge to reach the state tournament with a 9-7 record. On numerous occasions, he made a stop on defense that shifted the momentum back to the Spartans.

Defining moments: “In a shootout win against Millard West in the district semifinal he showed the composure to score the PK. And then he plays a 40-yard diagonal pass for Diego Reyes-Barbosa to run onto and score that epic last-minute goal.” — East coach Colin Smitsek.

The resume: He helped Southwest to a 14-4 record and a state semifinal appearance. His 15 career shutouts already rank fourth in program history.

Defining moments: “In our first match against Lincoln East he picked up a minor injury and was hobbling a bit.

Dylan was able to react and palmed the ball over the bar to maintain his clean sheet. We went on to win 3-0.” — Lincoln Southwest coach Derek Scheich.

Year: Sophomore.

Defining moments: “We faced double-digit top 10 teams, all of which dedicated one if not two defenders to her area. Her ability to find the open space, win in the air, and distribute the ball is phenomenal.” – Gretna coach Chace Hutchison.

PHOTO BY LARRY ROBINSON, JOURNAL STAR

(𝑭) 𝑲𝑬𝑵𝑵𝑬𝑫𝒀 𝑺𝑼𝑳𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑨𝑵, 𝑵𝑶𝑹𝑹𝑰𝑺

Year: Junior.

Defining moments: “She can anticipate the next play and put herself in perfect positions to finish crosses, intercept the opponents' passes, or make a slashing run in behind the defense. Kennedy was involved in many of our attacks and showed up big for the team during big moments.” – Norris assistant coach Samantha Areman.

PHOTO BY LARRY ROBINSON, JOURNAL STAR

(𝑴𝑭) 𝑨𝑽𝑨 𝑴𝑨𝑲𝑶𝑽𝑰𝑪𝑲𝑨, 𝑮𝑹𝑬𝑻𝑵𝑨

Year: Senior.

The resume: Makovicka was often a threat to help Gretna score on free kicks and corner kicks. The future Husker scored 11 goals and had four assists this season while helping Gretna to its third straight state championship.

Defining moments: “Defensively, Ava was one of the best players in the state. She used her athletic gifts to chase down opponents and win critical situations.” — Gretna coach Chase Hutchison.

PHOTO BY PETER BURTNETT, THE TIMES

(𝑴𝑭) 𝑲𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰 𝑾𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰𝑨𝑴𝑺, 𝑮𝑹𝑬𝑻𝑵𝑨

Year: Sophomore.

The resume: She was key to starting the Dragons’ high-powered offense, and finished with 11 goals and four assists.

Defining moments: “Defensively, Karli was one of the best players in the state during 50/50 situations and in aerial duels. Offensively, Karli was a key contributor for our build-up play as she was primarily responsible for switching the point of attack and pushing the ball forward. Her passing ability was incredible to watch as placement, pace, and touch all came together.” — Gretna coach Chace Hutchison.

PHOTO BY ANNA REED, OMAHA WORLD-HERALD

(𝑫) 𝑻𝑬𝑺𝑺 𝑩𝑬𝑯𝑹𝑬𝑵𝑺, 𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑯𝑨 𝑺𝑲𝑼𝑻𝑻

Year: Senior.

The resume: She stood out as a shutdown defender, while also helping on offense with seven goals and six assists for the Class B state champions.

Defining moments: “Tess was a do-it-all player and would move to forward when we needed more scoring chance during a game. But it was her calming presence in the back that helped make us a state championship team.” – Omaha Skutt coach John Carlson.

PHOTO BY ANNA REED, OMAHA WORLD-HERALD

(𝑫) 𝑳𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑶𝑵 𝑫𝑬 𝑭𝑰𝑵𝑰, 𝑮𝑹𝑬𝑻𝑵𝑨

Year: Junior.

The resume: De Fini had a big role on free kicks and corner kicks for Gretna, which contributed to her finishing the season with seven goals and eight assists. She’s committed to Lipscomb.

Defining moments: “She is a complete player excelling at every aspect of the game including passing, dribbling, defending, and shooting. She has a wonderful touch on the ball and the confidence to make the special play in big moments. London thrived as our left back contributing in both phases of the game.” — Gretna coach Chace Hutchison.

PHOTO BY PETER BURTNETT, THE TIMES

(𝑫) 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑬 𝑲𝑶𝑯𝑳𝑬𝑹, 𝑵𝑶𝑹𝑹𝑰𝑺

Year: Junior.

The resume: She had nine goals and a remarkable 19 assists while helping Norris to a Class B state runner-up finish.

Defining moments: "Grace is one of the most complete players in the state. She has incredible footwork and can strike a perfectly paced ball accurately with both feet. She has outstanding positional awareness so she's able to pick out passes and visualize plays that completely break down opposing defenses.” — Norris assistant coach Samantha Areman.

PHOTO BY KENNETH FERRIERA, JOURNAL STAR

(𝑫) 𝑨𝑵𝑵𝑰𝑬 𝑴𝑼𝑳𝑫𝑬𝑹, 𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑵 𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑻

Year: Senior.

The resume: She has started every match for East in her three-year career, and rarely left the field. Despite playing defender, her career stats are six goals and 10 assists. She’s signed with Kansas State, having committed to the Wildcats when she was in eighth grade.

Defining moments: “In our district final against Southeast, while we were down a goal, she moved up into the midfield to help push for a goal. She then provided the assist on a kick from the half-line to the opposite winger on a heads-up play where only the two of them had locked eyes. She also provided an assist in the first game at state against Millard West, and in similar fashion moved up into the midfield to push for a goal when we needed it.” — Lincoln East coach Emily Mathews.

PHOTO BY LARRY ROBINSON, JOURNAL STAR

(𝑮𝑲) 𝑫𝑬𝑳𝑨𝑵𝑰 𝑫𝑨𝑼𝑩𝑴𝑨𝑵, 𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑯𝑨 𝑾𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑺𝑰𝑫𝑬

Year: Senior.

The resume: She made several game-changing saves on breakaway attempts during the season. Daubman was key to Omaha Westside reaching the state semifinals for the first time since 2010, including four consecutive shutouts late in the season.

Defining moments: “In the district championship against Columbus it was 2-0 to us with 20 minutes left. Columbus had a breakaway chance and Delani came out and made an outstanding save. That broke their spirit and gave us even more momentum to go on and score a third goal and wrap up the district title.” — Omaha Westside coach Chris Dunford.
