2025 boys soccer All-GPC team

Maddox Huffman was selected as the 2025 Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year for boys soccer.

“It means a lot,” Huffman said. “My sophomore year I didn’t even get a start, so it feels great to get the honor of that.”

While Huffman didn’t get a single start in his sophomore season, he set the school record of 26 goals in a single year as a junior.

While he only scored 20 times during his senior campaign — Huffman also had two assists — he helped the team to a more successful season. The Eagles earned their highest finish in the Hoosier Heritage Conference as a 5-2 record put them second. He also headed in the go-ahead goal to lift Delta over Oak Hill, securing DHS its third boys soccer sectional crown.

“It’s been special because last year I broke the record, but we still fell short of a sectional,” Huffman said. “So I was trying to go for that. We made a really strong argument in the conference. Didn’t quite get there but it really pushed us towards a sectional, being able to work as a team and get that win.”

Huffman’s offensive output has led Delta to a 25-10 record over the past two seasons.

“He’s been tremendous,” said DHS coach Tony Pierce. “He’s had 50 plus goals for us and we wouldn’t be where we were without all those goals. We wouldn’t have won the games that we’ve won. He’s hit clutch goals for us at key times, so that’s well deserved for him.”
