This in NOT the official All-Area team for Montgomery Media. The title is based on the requirement to be a soccer player in Montgomery Media's coverage area to make the Starting 11.

BOYS STARTING 11
Goalkeeper: 
Kyle Walder (Upper Moreland) - Walder led the Golden Bears to its second straight District One championship game and a 13-5 record in his senior season. Walder posted nine shutouts in goal before falling to Holy Ghost Prep in the title game.





Defenders:
Dave Tate (Archbishop Wood)
Christos Yiantsos (Cheltenham)
Evan Harbison (Spring-Ford)
Noah Greenblatt (Owen J. Roberts)

Midfielders:
Ryan Molyneaux (Souderton) - The midfielder was crucial in taking Indians' defense and transitioning it into goals, not to mention a handful of his own. He was the best player on the field in wins against Wissahickon and Kennett during the District One playoff run.
Chris Russomano (Hatboro-Horsham)
Brian Schaefer (Upper Dublin)




Forwards:
Darius Madison (LaSalle) - This year's Philadelphia Catholic League and District 12 champs were led by the scoring of Madison. In the school's first state playoff appearance they were ousted by Hempfield in the opening round, but Madison was a big reason the season was special.
Curtis Washburn (North Penn)
Joe Farrell (Wissahickon)







GIRLS STARTING 11
Goalkeeper:
Emily Armstrong (Perkiomen Valley) - One of the top goalies in the country, let alone Montgomery County, Armstrong kept her team in every game. Armstrong continue her soccer career next fall at Boston College.

Defenders:
Elexa Sherman (Methacton) 
Hunter Filippo (Archbishop Wood)
Erin Lafferty (Upper Dublin)
Rachel Carpenter (Owen J. Roberts)

Midfielders:
Stevi Parker (Pennridge) - Parker, the future South Carolina Gamecock, has her team in the state championship. She has split time this season between centermid and centerback, basically whatever the Rams need she does and she does well.
Erin Casey (Gwynedd Mercy) 
Kellie McGoldrick (Hatboro-Horsham)
Jessica Knudsen (Plymouth-Whitemarsh)

Forwards:
Kelsey Celline (Archbishop Wood) - Next stop is LaSalle University for this goal scorer. The Vikings' forward set the single season record for goals and finished with 82 in her illustrious career.
Shea Neal (Christopher Dock)
