A competitive season also saw Pass Christian, Pearl River Central, St. Stanislaus and Gulfport compete in South State title games.
For the Tigers’ efforts in winning their second title in school history, Bay High sweeps the awards. Kelly Ross takes home Coach of the Year and Aiden Boudro wins both the Fan’s Choice and Sun Herald Player of the Year honors.
Here is the full boy’s soccer All-South Mississippi team.
Coach of the Year

Bay High put together an 18-5-2 record, including eight wins in a row to end the season. The Tigers scored two goals in the final two minutes to stun Sumrall in the second round of the playoffs and won South State with a 2-1 win over a Pass Christian team that swept its regular season matchups against Bay High.
Sun Herald Player of the Year
Aiden Boudro, Bay High
Boudro is one of the Coast’s top rising talents. After earning a spot on the All-South team last year as a freshman with 14 goals, Boudro followed up with a sophomore campaign that lands him Player of the Year honors.
Boudro scored 24 goals and assisted on 11 more for the Tigers. Along with Bryton Dupuy, Boudro was integral in leading Bay High to the state title. He scored the first goal of the match in the Tigers’ 2-0 championship-winning game against North Pontotoc.
