Tremper enjoyed the most success of any of the seven Kenosha County boys soccer teams this season, finishing with a 22-2-3 overall record and losing 1-0 to eventual champion Muskego in the Division-1 quarterfinals of the WIAA State Tournament. It should be no surprise then that the Trojans headline the 2009 All-County Soccer Team with seven first-teamers in voting done by county coaches.

A few additional notes regarding the selection of the team — which again, the Kenosha News didn’t have any input on: St. Joseph had no first-team, second-team or honorable mention All-Midwest Classic Conference honorees, so that is why they didn’t have any players voted All-County. ... Central coach Jeremy Williams submitted his list of candidates, then a week later requested that they not be considered. So they were placed on the second team.

Here is a closer look at the All-County first team, by school:
