ALAMOSA – Recognition has come for two standout players from the Alamosa High School boys soccer team as the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) announced its All-State teams on Thursday. Senior Juan Gonzales Ramirez and sophomore Levy Recinos were both honored with honorable mention in Class 3A, underscoring their contributions despite the team's challenging season.

This past season, Gonzales Ramirez made his mark by scoring three goals and providing two assists, showcasing his offensive skills and playmaking ability on the field. In comparison, Recinos contributed with one goal and one assist, reflecting the development and potential he displays as a young player in his sophomore year.

However, the Mean Moose faced an uphill battle throughout the season, concluding with a record of two wins, twelve losses, and one draw. In the competitive landscape of the Intermountain League, Alamosa finished with a league record of 1-4-1. Such statistics reveal the difficulties the team encountered, but the individual recognitions of Gonzales Ramirez and Recinos shine a light on the talent emerging from Alamosa.

In high school soccer, recognition like this can have lasting impacts on players' futures, often opening doors to college recruitment opportunities and further development in the sport. For Gonzales Ramirez, as a senior, these accolades may serve as a capstone to his high school career, while Recinos has the chance to build on this recognition for the upcoming seasons.

The acknowledgment of Gonzales Ramirez and Recinos not only highlights their individual achievements but also reflects the resilience and dedication of the Alamosa High School soccer program. As the Mean Moose look to rebuild and improve, these recognitions may inspire both current and future players to strive for excellence on and off the field.
