Jonathan Schriner, Bluffton High School senior, is in fact, the first BHS player to earn an All-American athletic player recognition.

In an earlier story, the Icon stated this honor went to Ethan Reichenbach, who we have since learned was a regional All-American, not an All-American.

The All-American soccer national honor is based on a combination of personal statistics, the tough schedule the team played and the club's record. Schriner led Bluffton in scoring with 27 goals and 17 assists this past season. Schriner was also voted first team All-Ohio and to the All-Great Lakes Region teams.

In our BHS All-American research we also found that Caity Matter, Bluffton HS 2000 grad, played in the Adidas All-American girls' basketball game held in Knoxville, Tennessee.

And in conversations with former BHS soccer coaches, we’ve compiled a list of all Bluffton HS boys and girls who have earned all-state soccer status. That list follows:
