Folds made the 1st round of All-Americans. 

https://www.ignatiuswildcats.com/news_article/show/973982

For the first time, Allstate is crowning 250 high school soccer players from across the United States as All-Americans. In the summer of 2019, 40 boys and 40 girls will be selected to play in the Allstate All-America Cup during the Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star festivities in Orlando. 

Folds served as a hard-charging utility knife. As Coach Mike McLaughlin said at the end of the season banquet, Folds is one of the few players he's coached to play every position on the field (except for goalie) in a season. Folds starred at forward, midfielder, and defender this season, excelling wherever he lined up. Folds started all 22 games, playing 1,476 minutes, ranking third on the team in playing time. 

Folds tallied 9 goals and 2 assists during a stellar junior campaign. Folds scored several highlight reel goals, including a marvelous top-shelf tally vs. St. Edward that made ESPN's SportsCenter Top 10 plays. 

For his career, Folds has tallied 17 goals and 5 assists, totaling 39 points.
