Hillcrest well-represented in girls’ All-State selections; 2 Blackfoot boys earn First-Team honors

EASTERN IDAHO — The Hillcrest Knights went to last month’s state soccer tournament as the one-seed in the girls’ 5A bracket, with title aspirations. And while their championship dreams did not come to fruition, Hillcrest was happy to bring a third-place trophy back with them to Ammon.

Now, they, along with other local 5A schools, can add some individual accolades to the record book. Four Knights were named First-Team All-State players, joining Skyline’s Macy Marlow and Blackfoot’s Fernando Orozco and Gio Labra, on the boys’ side.

Here is the complete list of 5A All-State honorees.
