The following are The Denver Postap 2016 5A and 4A All-State boys soccer teams. Selections were based off a combination of four factors: statistical analysis, a player’s relative value to his team, postseason production and the old-fashioned eye test.
There are no first team, second team or honorable mentions; there is one team selected for each classification stacked with what The Denver Post feels were the absolute best players in the state of Colorado in 2016. Each team consists of 14 players, and the position listed is what the player made the team as.
