Alberto Valle, sr., forward, Milwaukee Marquette: All-State first team. Greater Metro Conference first team. Twenty-five goals, nine assists for Division 1 state champion Hilltoppers. Scored game-winning goal in hard-fought, 1-0 overtime match against Homestead in state semifinal. "Without a doubt, was one of the top forwards in the state," Marquette coach Steve Lawrence said.

I wouldn't trade him for any other player in the state."
Sean Gilbert, sr., midfielder, Arrowhead: All-State first team. Classic 8 first team. Twenty goals, five assists. Team captain who helped the Warhawks stay ranked in the top five almost the entire season. "Outstanding one-vs.-one player who is difficult to defend," Arrowhead coach Jeff Staus said.
