Trojans, Demons lead All-SEC boys soccer honors

The Southeast Conference released its all-conference boys soccer list this week, and the Union area has plenty of names on the team.

Fairfield and Washington each had six players listed on the All-SEC team, appropriately matching each other punch for punch after tying for second in the conference standings.

Fairfield had a trifecta of seniors make the list. Leading scorer Xavier Kapijimpanga (26 goals, 7 assists) made the All-SEC team, joined by fellow Class of 2021 graduates Juan Rojo and Eli Moore. Sophomore Blake Jarmosco was given an All-SEC nod.

Washington had four players on the list, including leading scorer Zac Stout (28 goals, 3 assists), a senior. Fellow senior Simeon Buie also represented the Demons, as well as junior Cole Anderson and freshman Brayan Arreola.

Mt. Pleasant had two seniors make the All-SEC first team. Logan Lee and Dillan Malone represented the Panthers.

Each team had two players named to the honorable mention list. Fairfield seniors Christian Bowman and Drake Drish were named to the squad as were Mt. Pleasant sophomores Mario Carapia Segundo and Jack Capps, Washington senior Daniel Marcelino and Washington junior Fabian DeJesus.

Fort Madison’s Mitchell Pothitakis was named SEC Player of the Year.
