Aberdeen standouts Evan Cone and Isaiah Johnson were named two of the 2A Evergreen Conference’s top players as the league announced its all-conference team for the 2024 season.

Johnson was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year after the senior defender made 216 defensive stops this season to go along with five assists, earning him the league’s top honor for a defenseman.

One of the league’s most dangerous scoring threats, Cone was named to the league’s First Team after leading the Bobcats with 11 goals and recording four assists in his junior season.

Elma junior forward Elmer Torres (6 goals, 12 assists), senior midfielder Juan Serrano (4G, 4A, 77 defensive stops) and junior defender Angel Espinosa (225 defensive stops) were named to the league’s second team.

Aberdeen’s Leo Garcia (G, 5 A, 65 DS) and Chris Garcia (G, 2A, 107DS) were named as Honorable Mentions.
