Championship Highlights
The 2025 WIAA boys state soccer championships concluded with four division finals that showcased dramatic finishes and emerging talent across Wisconsin. Madison West defeated Marquette 1-0 to win the Division 1 title, and senior midfielder Liam Cahill was named player of the year.
In Division 2, Whitefish Bay secured the championship with a 3-1 victory over DeForest, highlighting a strong offensive display that outpaced their opponents throughout the match.
Division 3 saw Catholic Memorial edge Notre Dame 2-1 for the title, underscoring the team's resilience and ability to execute under pressure in the final minutes.
Oostburg captured Division 4 after a 1-0 overtime win against Sturgeon Bay, a result that kept the trophy in the northern part of the state and demonstrated the team's endurance.
The Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association, which oversees the tournament, praised the competitive spirit and sportsmanship displayed throughout the event, noting the high level of preparation among all participating programs.
All-state honors recognized several local players, with Roman Glad and Liam West earning second-team selections, while multiple athletes received honorable-mention accolades for their contributions.
Despite the recognitions, no area players made the first-team all-state roster, a fact that coaches attribute to the depth of competition across the divisions and the difficulty of standing out among the state's top talent.
