Four players from state champion Whitefish and four from runner-up Columbia Falls have been selected All-State for Class A soccer in voting by North A coaches.
The North A all-conference team, which was released on Tuesday, has 11 first-team selections and nine of those were All-State; because the North A had two teams reach the semifinals, the league received two extra All-State picks.
Atley Bingham, Barrett Clark, Sage Ordway and Neva Sliman are the picks from Whitefish, which beat Columbia Falls 2-1 for the State A championship on Oct. 31.
Bingham and Ordway were named All-State for a second straight season.
Garnering All-State status from the Wildcats are Riley Byrd, Evie Dorr, Alexa Friske and Onnika Lawrence. Friske and Byrd were All-State last fall when the Wildcats won the 2025 State A title; Friske was selected for a third time.
Bingham had 26 goals and 17 assists as a sophomore this fall for the Bulldogs, while Ordway had 13 goals and 15 assists and Sliman had 17 goals and seven assists. Clark had one goal and played the backfield.
Lawrence had 16 goals and 14 assists for Columbia Falls, while Byrd had 13 goals and 16 assists. Alexa Friske, a defensive standout, had one goal. Evie Dorr was the Wildcats' goalkeeper.
One All-State selection went to Thompson Falls-Plains' Ava Lawyer.
Filling out the first team for the North A were Bigfork senior Michaela Anderson and Columbia Falls sophomore June Johnston.
On the boys side, State A runner Whitefish had two players, seniors Luca Duffy and Quinn Powers, named All-State. Duffy had seven goals and eight assists for the Bulldogs, who fell 1-0 to Billings Central in the final. Powers had one goal while playing in the backfield.
Columbia Falls also had two All-State selections: Whit Albrecht (7 goals, 11 assists) and Brady Bell (15 goals, 6 assists).
Bigfork had two selections in Ryker McAnnally and Pawl Bryman.
Libby had Jonathon Cano (6 goals, 6 assists) selected All-State.
There were no repeat All-State picks, though Bell was first-team all-North A last year.
Filling out this year's first team were Graysen Rembaugh and Roen Chisholm of Whitefish, Zander Gassman of Libby and Bryson Jones of Bigfork. Chisholm had 17 goals as a freshman.
