This list includes 14 backs, 16 midfielders, 3 forwards, 4 who were listed as multiple positions, and 1 goalkeeper as MVP. Contrary to the all-state teams which typically underemphasize defenders, the coaches' selections of this all-tournament team obviously value the back line players.

To further support that analysis, the Eastside player spent the weekend in goal.

Congratulations Gracie Boswell as a two time Viking Cup All Tournament Selection. Once as a forward, Once as a defender. Once as a "club" player. Once as a "non-club" player. What a dichotomy.

How are the All Tournament Team players picked, is it by each schools coach?

Congratulations to all the players! Danielle Werdunn from Irmo rocked at defense this past weekend! Well deserved honor.
