Players of the Week - Group 8

Section V Boys Lacrosse Coordinator Mike Simon in conjunction with Geneva Club Beverages are sponsoring recognition of noteworthy performances throughout the season.

In our last group we have a senior and a junior who had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Players of the Week

Shane Coleman  - Junior Wayne Attackman

Shane Coleman was an important part of the four wins at Wayne as he scored 4g-4a against Gananda, 6g-3a against Marcus Whitman, 4g-1a against Newark and 3g-1a against Honeoye Falls-Lima in a game that was won in overtime after he scored the last seconds tying goal. In his third year with the Varsity, he has a career record on 79g-35a and 114pts who, last year made the All-Tournament team and was a first team FL_East pick.

Head Coach John Hanss says, "He is a talented player that has taken his role on the team and made others around him better. He draws other teams' best defenders and opens opportunities for others to succeed while still scoring big goals when it counts. "

Defensive Player of the Week

AJ Theodorakakos - Senior Penfield Defenseman

AJ Theodorakakos 

continued to be a major factor in the success of the Patriots this season. Assigned to the best in the section, he continues to control opponent offense. In their game with Irondequoit, AJ kept Cooper Moore from scoring goals, and did the same for Churchville-Chili's Jaxson Leonard. A varsity player since his freshman year, he was a first team All-League pick in both his sophomore and junior years and the USMA commit was named a USA Lacrosse All-American last year. 

Head Coach John Schembri says, "AJ continues to set the standard for defensive play in section 5 and beyond. He continues to get better every time he steps on the field. The best overall defender I have had the ability to coach in my career." 

Note: Face-off players are considered for both offensive and defensive Players of the Week.

Honorable Mentions: Paxton Landon (Wayne), Tariku Blueye (Marcus Whitman), Marco Vengoechea (HFL), Aidan O'Brien (McQuaid Jesuit), Mason Calkins (Haverling).

Players of the Week - Group 7

Section V Boys Lacrosse Coordinator Mike Simon in conjunction with Geneva Club Beverages are sponsoring recognition of noteworthy performances throughout the season.

In our seventh group we have two seniors, a freshman and a sophomore who had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Players of the Week

Chancellor Williams  - Junior East United/Eastridge Defenseman/DM

Chancellor Williams had a good week, recording 2g-2a-9gbs-2ct vs Brockport and 6g-3a-8gb-5ct against Syracuse City where he scored the tying and overtime goal. He has been the key player for the Eagles all season and according to his coach, "In two big games this week Chancellor has stepped up for his team in every way playing both LSM, SSDM, and Offensive Midfield the entire game. At this point in the season he is playing on average 42-44 minutes per game as a midfielder." The Hampton commit has scored 24 goals and 12 assists as  a defense/defensive midfielder.

Head Coach London Booker says, "Chancellor plays every minute of every game. At this point in the season the only position he hasn't played is goalie. He continues to lead our team in every statistical category, defensively and offensively. Super proud to see the player he has grown into!"

Offensive Players of the Week

Red Wolk  - Freshman Brighton Attackman

Red Wolk is an exciting player. For a first-year player, there are not many experiences on a lacrosse field that can top, scoring an overtime, game winning goal in a game where Brighton plays Irondequoit. It is an event worth celebrating. This season, Red has scored points in every game thus far, totally 15 goals and 13 assists. 

Head Coach Josh Laskowski says, "Redmond has far exceeded our expectations of a 7th grader this season. He plays with an incredibly high IQ, deep passion for the game, and an elegance that is rare for his age. Red is a dual threat, not only a proficient scorer but possesses incredible vision and playmaking ability. He can play any position in an offense, makes those around him better, and is a great teammate both on and off the field.

This comes as no surprise - Red is constantly working on his craft, always looking to get better and learn something each day. His mindset, maturity, and ability to handle the moment, make him the special player that he is."

 

Defensive Player of the Week

Stuart Quku - Senior Midlakes Goalie

Stuart Quku started out as an attackman, but when his coach asked him to step into the goal last year, he willingly stepped up and was awarded first team all-league honors as a junior. This season he continues to roll up the stats including passing 300 saves earlier in the season. Last week he had an 87% day vs Wayne, 61% vs L-A-G and a 70% day against Jorden Elbridge. 

Head Coach John Hicks says, "Stuart is a leader on the field. He helps lead the defense being vocal and also recognizing what other teams are doing. He is like a second coach out on the field. He is a team captain and puts his team before himself. When you drive past his house he is always outside with his little brother playing lacrosse, always working to get better. I am not sure where we would be without Stuart stepping up the way he has. " 

 

Defensive Player of the Week

Wilson Oliva - Sophomore Penn Yan Goalie

Wilson Oliva 

 has a great week in the goal for the Mustangs, recording twenty-two saves (65%) and helping to get two more wins for the team. His 72% day (13 saves) against HF-L and 56% day against Hamburg were demonstrative and added to his total of 62 saves for the 10-3 Mustangs.

Head Coach Brian Hobart says, "Wilson has stepped forward in recent weeks and played very well. He brings an energy and positive attitude that our entire team feeds off. We look forward to his continued development in the goal. He is a kid who works very hard on the field and in the classroom. He is a very upbeat and positive young man that is becoming a real leader on our team." 

Note: Face-off players are considered for both offensive and defensive Players of the Week.

Honorable Mentions: Will Simpson (Victor), Eli Ricci (Victor), Aiden Kopper (Batavia-ND), Matt Logan (Victor), Drew Brien (Hilton)

Players of the Week - Group 6

Section V Boys Lacrosse Coordinator Mike Simon in conjunction with Geneva Club Beverages are sponsoring recognition of noteworthy performances throughout the season.

In our fifth group we have a senior, a sophomore and a junior who had noteworthy performances in the last week.

Offensive Players of the Week

Brayden Arber  - Sophomore Bloomfield-Honeoye Attackman

Brayden Arber was a major contributor in the two wins by the Pride last week.  Scoring, in total eighteen goals and six assists, he set a new school record for career goals in the Tonawanda win. In addition, Brayden, a starter since either grade, had fourteen ground balls, four takes and won eight out of twelve faceoffs. 

Head Coach Joe Sidari says, "Brayden, a sophomore captain, leads by example through his play and his willingness to step into any role the team needs. He’s the kind of player who can impact a game in multiple ways, as he showed late in our league matchup—shifting from attack to faceoffs, then taking on a defensive midfield role during our final stand to help secure the win. He is also a strong student, consistently demonstrating the same discipline and commitment in the classroom that he brings to the field. Beyond his on-field contributions, Brayden gives back to the program by working with younger players and officiating youth games throughout their season. "

Offensive Players of the Week

John Burrows  - Junior McQuaid Jesuit Attackman

John Burrows was the conquering hero for McQuaid Jesuit who edged Thomas 10-9 in overtime with Burrows scoring the game winner in OT. The game was tied at nine heading into overtime after Thomas outscored McQuaid three-to-nothing in the third quarter. He as scored in every game this year, totaling 34g-19a thus far.

Head Coach Alex Gray says, "John has been a leader for our team all year and has worked hard to improve each day. He is willing to do whatever is necessary to help the team and it's awesome to see him have success in some big games last week!"

 

Defensive Player of the Week

McLane Stermole - Senior Haverling Goalie

McLane Stermole is a senior goalie who has been the Ram's starter since either grade. He has served 2,759 minutes and has made over 850 career saves (51%). Last week he helped give Haverling a 6-5 win over Mynderse-Romulus with twenty saves and a 80% saves day. 

Head Coach Ken DiDomineck says, "McLane has been our team leader this year both on and off the field. This is his 4th year as our starting goalie and has worked very hard in the offseason while playing two other varsity sports. His performance of 20 saves (80%) in a tight game against Mynderse-Romulus was the main reason we pulled off the win. Many of those saves were one on one and point blank. He is the ultimate teammate by being the leader of our young defenders and stepping in to help our offense in shooting drills. He currently holds the Haverling school record for most saves in a season(256) and career saves which now stands at 851." 

Note: Face-off players are considered for both offensive and defensive Players of the Week.
