Font ResizeKlepac scored nine goals and had six assists for the Scorpion team that fell one win short of defending its state title.
His most important goal came in the state semifinals against Capital to give FHS a 1-0 win and advance to the state title match.
The senior midfielder was joined on the 4A all-state first team by three Scorp teammates — forward Naeem Begay and defenders Curtis Hunt and Nathaniel Pavlik.
Begay was one of the top scorers for FHS with seven goals.
Hunt and Pavlik played important roles in a Scorpion defense that gave up just 20 goals in 19 games.
Pavlik also chipped in on the offensive side with two goals and three assists.
On the girls team, the Aztec Lady Tigers had two players receive first-team honors after finishing as the runner-up in the state tournament.
Senior defender Tyra Gabehart earned a spot after anchoring one of the strongest defenses in 4A.
The Lady Tiger co-captain also added eight goals and seven assists on the season.
Since joining the team in eighth grade, Gabehart has played a vital role in Aztec's success, said Lady Tiger head coach Stephen Parks.
"She's been a big part of this program for the last five years," Parks said. "Her absence is going to leave a big hole to fill. She's a special player, and this is a great way for her to cap off her career."
Gabehart was joined on the first team by
The junior midfielder was a key cog in the Lady Tiger offense, scoring 11 goals and dishing out 12 assists.
Her biggest moment of the season came when she propelled Aztec to their first state title match with the game-winning goal in overtime against Los Alamos in the semifinals.
Parks will look for Kresl spark the Tigers' attack next season.
"The offense that she provides will be big for us," he said.
Farmington senior defender Molly Merrion represented the Lady Scorps in the squad.
Merrion co-captained a Farmington team that advanced to the quarterfinals.
She scored four goals and had three assists, while playing occasionally in a forward role this season.
Junior forward Zoey Hooper made the team for Kirtland Central.
Hooper was one of the top scorers in the state with 20 goals for the Lady Broncos.
She scored a goal in Kirtland's 2-1 win over Valencia in the first round of the state tournament.
