Howard County brought home one boys’ soccer state championship and three regional winners this year. Glenelg powered its way to an undefeated record and the 2A championship. Centennial and Wilde Lake made it to the state bracket. Here are CSZ's awards for the best of the county this season: Team of the Year - Glenelg Gladiators Glenelg fired on all cylinders throughout the regular season and the postseason. They won their first championship since 2022 with an undefeated signature season. The Gladiators allowed one goal across five playoff games. In the last two years, Glenelg has only lost one game. The team’s offense stood out as a juggernaut that no team could stifle. Glenelg scored multiple goals in all 17 of its games this year. They had at least three in 15 of those games. The Gladiators saved their best for the home crowd. They allowed six goals at home all season and outscored opponents by a +35 goal margin. Most Improved Team - Oakland Mills Scorpions Oakland Mills boosted its record by six wins this year, turning the page after a winless 2024. The Scorpions won their first three games of the season. They played spoiler early against top teams like Reservoir and Howard. However, they faltered down the stretch and closed the regular season with a 1-7-1 record. With all momentum going against them, the Scorpions battled back. They picked up two playoff wins, knocking out Atholton and Reservoir. Oakland Mills finished with their most wins since 2019 and have meaningful momentum to make a deeper push next season. Best Game of the Season - Centennial (1) vs. Reservoir (1) on Oct. 14 The Reservoir Gators closed out their 9-4 season as a spoiler for the two teams above them. Facing Centennial and Glenelg, the first-place team in the county would have to go through Reservoir. Centennial entered the game as the clear second-best team, looking to move its way up. The Eagles posted a 10-1 record, losing only to Glenelg. With a Gladiator loss and two wins, Centennial could have tied for first place. Reservoir played spoiler and finished the game in a 1-1 tie. The Eagles had not tied in their prior 17 games and had only scored one goal in just one preceding game. Glenelg secured its first-place crown and did not look back for the rest of the season.
