Knoxville Boys Soccer Player of the Year Voting Opens

The headline attackers

The reported scoring totals put four names at the front of the conversation.

  • Ashby Scott of Carter: 34 goals, 8 assists
  • Vitor Robazza of Grace Christian: 31 goals, 21 assists
  • Colby Stokely of CAK: 31 goals, 9 assists
  • Freddy Castro of Sevier County: 29 goals, 12 assists

Scott’s case is built on pure finishing volume. Robazza’s is arguably the most rounded, pairing elite scoring with a huge creative return. Stokely and Castro sit just behind with production that would lead many awards races in other years.

Depth across the ballot

This is not a one-line race. The reported numbers show serious depth behind the leading four.

  • Emanuel Mosquera Gonzalez of Fulton: 27 goals, 5 assists
  • Roger Oseguera Cruz of South-Doyle: 24 goals, 10 assists
  • Paxton Burnette of Kingston: 23 goals, 3 assists
  • Aidan Ainsworth of Bearden: 19 goals, 8 assists
  • Brody Williams of Union County: 17 goals, 10 assists

Burnette’s inclusion stands out because he is a freshman. Williams and Oseguera Cruz bring balance as scorers and creators, which often carries weight when voters split hairs.

The non-forwards still matter

The ballot is not only about strikers.

  • Tate McCarty of Catholic: 107 saves, 6 clean sheets
  • Parker Crittenden of Halls: 65 saves, 6 shutouts
  • Angel Venegas of Clinton: 9 goals, 7 assists

McCarty’s save volume gives him a distinctive case, while Venegas appears to offer the broadest two-way profile on the list.

As the postseason continues, late moments could still shape the story. But before the vote closes on 16 May, the central question looks simple: do voters reward the biggest goal total, the most complete attacking season, or the player whose impact reached every area of the pitch?
