Pine Ridge leads the way with three first-team selections, as well as the Coach of the Year With a half-dozen playoff qualifiers representing Volusia/Flagler, there was no shortage of deserving candidates for the All-Area boys soccer team. District champion Pine Ridge pulled three first-team nominations, including Player of the Year Josh Cole, in addition to the area’s Coach of the Year. Spruce Creek, Seabreeze, Matanzas, New Smyrna Beach and Taylor each had multiple selections, though no local program advanced beyond the first round.

DeLand, Matanzas and Taylor round out the group, with Spruce Creek and Pine Ridge among those on the outside looking in.
