On Sunday, the Minnesota State High School Soccer Coaches Association announced its 2024 Mr. and Ms. Soccer winners, awarded to the top senior in each class as voted upon by the coaches association.
Mr. Soccer
Class 1A: Donovan Sinicropi, Minnehaha Academy
Sinicropi’s regular season included a conference-best 19 goals, plus 11 assists, for a Redhawks team that finished ranked No. 3 in 1A. The senior co-captain has played for Minnesota United’s academy in MLS Next and is Minnehaha’s first Mr. Soccer. The midfielder scored three times in Minnehaha’s section quarterfinal and assisted three more in its semifinal victory before losing to No. 1 St. Paul Academy in section finals.
Class 2A: Tenzing Walker, Highland Park
Another first-ever Mr. Soccer for his program — and for the St. Paul City Conference — Walker finished his Highland Park career as the school’s all-time leading goal scorer, with 33 goals and 22 assists. The Scots finished second in their conference, helped by Walker’s play worthy of St. Paul City Player of the Year honors.
Class 3A: Ronan Selbo, Minneapolis Washburn
Selbo is Washburn’s second Class 3A Mr. Soccer winner in a row, after last year’s honoree, Emmett Brown. After Brown, the Millers’ leading scorer, graduated, midfielder Selbo burst from two goals last year to 15 this year, helping the Millers earn the No. 1 seeding in the state tournament.
Ms. Soccer
Class 1A: Samantha Perez, St. Charles/Lewiston-Altura
