Finian Godfrey, GK, Sr., The Heights
Defense often wins championships, and this fall The Heights rode one of the area’s best to a second Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title. Godfrey was the anchor, a steady leader with quick reflexes and singular confidence on the ball. In 19 matches, the Cavaliers had more shutouts (14) than goals allowed (eight). Godfrey came up with 51 saves, including a few key stops in The Heights’ 3-0 win over Gonzaga in the conference championship.

Kyle Ganley, F, Sr., St. Mary’s Ryken
A handful for some of the best defenses in the area, Ganley led all WCAC players with 26 goals.
Robbie Gresham, D, Sr., Good Counsel
The WCAC player of the year was a skilled and reliable presence at the back for a sturdy defense.
Charlie Irwin, MF, Sr., St. Albans
An engine in the midfield, Irwin made the Bulldogs go as they captured the Interstate Athletic Conference and D.C. State Athletic Association titles.
Caleb Johnson, GK, Jr., Blair
A major reason the Blazers had double-digit wins again this season, Johnson totaled 54 saves.
Hunter Marsden, MF, Sr., South River
The linchpin of a strong team, Marsden provided six goals and 12 assists as the Seahawks marched to a Maryland Class 3A title.
Dominic Radice, D, Sr., Churchill
A strong, nearly unbeatable presence in the Bulldogs’ back line, Radice established himself as one of the best players in talent-packed Montgomery County.
Erik Rodriguez, D, Sr., Damascus
The speedy defender did a bit of everything for the state champion Hornets, finishing with 10 goals and three assists from the back.
Jack Sabel, D, Sr., St. Albans
Sabel was a well-respected presence in the IAC, scoring seven goals and commanding a defense that kept 12 clean sheets.
Nick Weaver, MF, Sr., Damascus
Weaver was a major reason this was a season to remember for the Hornets; he racked up 16 goals and 10 assists as Damascus earned the first state title in program history.
Lawson Weeldreyer, D, Sr., The Heights
A stalwart in the Cavaliers’ elite defensive unit, Weeldreyer served as a captain and integral piece for the WCAC champions.
Marlyn Argueta, South River
The 2008 South River graduate served as an assistant coach with the Seahawks for several years before taking over the head job in 2019. He did his alma mater proud, leading the Seahawks to their first state championship appearance in 36 years. In that title game, South River earned a resounding and clinical 5-1 victory over Towson. It’s the second title in the program’s long and storied history.
