He scored 16 goals and had 16 assists. The senior scored three goals against both Howard and Mount Hebron, and scored the game-winning goal in the regional final against Brunswick.

Tod Downen of Centennial was the best defensive midfielder in the county.

David Kelley of Atholton had an extraordinary season for the Raiderswith outstanding ball skills and hustle. Kelley scored 12 goals and had 10 assists. He made a nearly impossible shot from near the sideline in the final seconds against Howard to tie that regular-season game. He also scored two goals in the Atholton regional semifinal victory over Howard.

Fullbacks

Brian Thierrin of Hammond split his time between sweeper and forward, but no matter where he played, he wasa standout.

The senior scored seven goals and had four assists and played outstanding games against Howard, Wilde Lake, Centennial andOakland Mills.

Cullen Meade of Centennial was described by Coach Bill Stara as "the glue that held our defense together."

Meade wasstrong in the air and on the ground, and some coaches think he was Centennial's most valuable player.

Jarrod Moreland of Howard was the Lions' most feared player for his aggressive style of defense.

Keeper
