The easiest way for a Kenosha County football player to earn first-team All-SLC honors was to play a skill position.

The Southern Lakes Conference recently released its all-league honors and Central had a receiver in Dustin Milz and Wilmot had a tight end in Corey Cates and a kicker in Landon Tenhagen make the first team.

Central defensive back Danny Neighbors was the only other County player to make the first team.

Milz, a senior, led the County with 32 receptions. He totaled 487 receiving yards (15.2 a catch) and seven touchdowns for the Falcons, that finished 1-6 in the SLC and 3-6 overall.

Tenhagen, a senior, kicked field goals of 32-, 23- and 21-yards for Wilmot. According to News records, he converted 13 of 14 extra-point attempts.

Tenhagen was also named to the second team as a receiver and honorable mention as a punter and linebacker.

Cates, a senior, was the County’s second-leading receiver. He had 32 grabs for 302 yards (9.4 average) and four touchdowns for the Panthers, that were 3-4 in the SLC and 5-4 overall.

Neighbors, a senior, led Central with three interceptions.

Earning second-team honors were Wilmot sophomore quarterback Chris Nelson, Wilmot junior offensive lineman Sean Meehan, Wilmot defensive lineman Tyler Poland, Wilmot linebacker John Urbaitis and Central senior linebacker Joe Carney.

Earning honorable mention were Central junior quarterback Austin Damaschke, Central junior lineman Uzziel McDermit, Central junior defensive lineman Derek Jennings, Wilmot senior defensive lineman Dustin Edmonds and Wilmot senior defensive back Quincy Berg.

Union Grove senior running back Dan Vyvyan was named the league’s offensive player of the year while Waterford senior linebacker Tyler Merlo earned the defensive honor.
