Defender
Sam Agre, Penn Charter
In a transitional year for the Quakers, Agre continued to shine as a top-tier defender capable of marking the best player on any team. And while Penn Charter, which had won the Inter-Ac League title in 2010, stumbled to a 3-8 league record this year, the junior anchored a defense that checked Brett Campbell and high-powered Haverford School in a signature 1-0 win on Oct. 28.
Defender
Andrew Gonzalez, Conestoga
Gonzalez, a junior center back, served as the main cog on the best defensive back line in the state. Conestoga allowed just eight goals in 25 games and held 17 opponents scoreless, including Upper St. Clair during the Pioneers' 1-0 triumph in the PIAA Class AAA state final. It was the school's first state championship since 1988.
Defender
Steve Fedele, Central Bucks East
The senior was flanked by two sophomores and a freshman, so his role on East's back line can't be overstated. The lone upperclassman on a corps that had graduated 2010 Inquirer first-teamer Kris Davis, Fedele anchored a defense that posted 11 shutouts and was a key factor in the Patriots' Suburban One League Continental championship. It was probably the deepest and toughest division in District 1 this year. Fedele is getting looks from Franklin and Marshall and Roanoke, among others, East coach Mike Gorni said.
Midfielder
Tim Lazorko, Holy Ghost Prep
Though his numbers are second to teammate Colin O'Neill's, Lazorko was the Firebirds' true quarterback. Nearly everything Holy Ghost ran, Lazorko facilitated. His 16 goals and seven assists were quite impressive, but it's Lazorko's sheer command of the pitch that netted him all-region MVP honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association. He will play for St. Joseph's University next year.
