* Shawn Moyer, North County, Sr., striker -- Despite playing with a sore foot most of the season, the 6-foot-3, 178-pound Moyer had 24 goals and four assists to lead the Knights to the Class 4A, Region IV title and earn Player of the Year honors in Anne Arundel County. Moyer is a member of Maryland's Olympic Developmental Team.* Jeremy Baker, Calvert Hall, Sr., striker -- Baker (18 goals, six assists) began the season as perhaps the area's most underrated player. Leading the Cardinals to their 16th MSA crown, he combined skill with speed and hustle while often being double-marked.

The first stage of a season-long mission is complete for the Severna Park girls soccer team. Facing their biggest challenge to a possible fourth straight county title, the visiting and fifth-ranked Falcons used defense and experience to edge No. 11 Old Mill, 2-1, last night in Millersville. In collecting its sixth consecutive victory, Severna Park improved to 7-1-1 overall and remained undefeated in the county (6-0). "We still mean business," said senior striker Lauren Montgomery, who brushed away talk that this might be the year a team other than the Falcons claims the county crown.

For the opening 60 minutes, the Old Mill-Severna Park girls soccer match wasn't what most people thought it would be.The visiting Patriots were supposed to be one of the teams threatening to end the Falcons' stranglehold on the county.Unfortunately for Old Mill, those plans have been put on hold for a little while longer, as their hosts registered three first-half goals on their way to a 3-1 win."I think we had a case of opening-game jitters," said Old Mill head coach Bruce Sponsler. "That's why I hate playing a team like Severna Park in the first game of the year.

* Ian Wildey, Towson, Jr., striker -- Wildey, a member of the state's Olympic Developmental Program, was the Generals' leading scorer (16 goals, seven assists). Among the county's most skilled players, Wildey gave the Generals a 1-0 lead 1:40 into a 3-1 Region II semifinal loss to Oakland Mills.** Jeremy Baker, Calvert Hall, Sr., striker -- Baker (18 goals, six assists) began the season as perhaps the area's most underrated player -- defensively as well -- but withstood pressure as the returning starter from last year's Cardinals.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR* Jeff Harrison, Sparrows Point, senior, midfielder -- Voted the best player in Baltimore County by league coaches, Harrison scored 29 goals and had 15 assists to lead the Pointers to a 10-3 record, the 1A-2A league crown and a county runner-up finish behind Perry Hall. His 72 career goals and 34 career assists are a school record, said coach Tom Karle, who calls Harrison "one of the top two players I've ever coached." A first-team All-State pick at 6 feet 2, 190 pounds, Harrison carries an A average, ranks No. 14 in his class, and is considering playing at Loyola College among others.
