All-American and All-Academic Nominees

 SPORTSFIVE REPORT:  The Head Coaches of Section V recently considered players who had been nominated for All-American and All-Academic awards. The awards identify some of the best players from each area around the country. Each of the head coaches in the Section is allowed to vote on each of the awards. The selections from our area are then submitted to the sponsoring group for final approval.

The All-American awards are given to excellent lacrosse players from the area. The national program allows one award for each six teams in the area but this year there were six awards available. Fifteen players were nominated. Section Five coaches require that players who are in leagues must make first team league honors to be considered.

For the All-Academic award, an emphasis has been placed on the academic qualification of the nominees, but players were required to be assets for their teams. Where, in the past, nominees for this award were first considered for their skill on this field, this year, although skill was considered important, nominees did not need to be "All-American" quality players. Eric CarlsenAcademically, nominees needed to have an average GPA of 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale). There were also six awards available in Section V and there were seven nominees. Some players were nominated for both awards and in the end five were selected.

The Head Coaches also selected a USA Lacrosse Coach of the Year for NYS Section V. This year the coaches selected Bill Buttaro, Head Coach at Spencerport. The Rangers were 13-6 this year and advanced to the Sectional Finals for the first time in program history.

Noah GibsonIn 2012, USA Lacrosse added an award named for the long-time Johns Hopkins lacrosse coach and Athletic Director, Bob Scott. The annual award is given to a senior of outstanding character, good academic standing and one who demonstrates good sportsmanship and safe play. The winner from Section V, this year, is East United-Eastridge senior Keenan Edwards.

Head Coach, London Booker says, "As a volunteer for RocE6 lacrosse, Keenan has devoted countless hours to supporting the growth and development of young athletes. Whether it's coaching, mentoring, or organizing events, Keenan goes above and beyond to ensure the success of the program.

What sets Keenan apart is his unwavering commitment to doing what needs to be done, even when no one is watching. His integrity and strong work ethic make him a standout among his peers. Keenan's actions serve as a shining example of character and dedication. His remarkable efforts serve as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the power of selflessness and the importance of giving back."

2023 All-Americans

  • Jack Faiola- Canandaigua senior goalie - Hobart
    Head Coach Deven York says: "Jack is the best goalie I have seen at Canandaigua. He has built himself in the off season weightroom. Attending our 5:00 am Breakfast club. He hones his craft at goalie camps and club, has never missed an optional workout. He sets the standard. No one outworks him. For our defense to perform like it has this year is a direct result of Jack's ability and leadership." 

  • Thomas Gravino - Victor senior midfielder - Maryland
    Gravino returns as a two-time All-American. Head Coach Dan Stone says: "Thomas leads by example on and off the field. He is the first to congratulate teammates on good plays and to remain calm in challenging circumstances. He challenges teammates to let our play speak for us. Thomas was selected to participate in the Section V Student Athlete Advisory Committee based on his leadership skills and is one of a small group of athletes selected for the All-Greater Rochester First Team in two varsity sports in the same year." 

  • Robert Kinslow IV - Pal-Mac senior defenseman - Hobart
    Head Coach Joe Hill says: "Robert is a model citizen, he not only follows rules but he expects others to as well. He holds everyone to a high standard. Robert has been a Captain since he was a Sophomore at Pal-Mac where he started playing Varsity Lacrosse as a starter in 8th grade. Robert is also instrumental in our youth program working with our future defenseman that have looked up to him as leader for years. Robert is our coach on the field!" 

  • Sam Ricci - Victor senior face off specialist - Cornell
    Head Coach Dan Stone says: "Sam Ricci is a student-athlete any coach could use as a textbook example of what they want members of their program and school community to become. His work in the classroom earned him a GPA of 93.1, Scholar Athlete and Team Captain honors for multiple seasons in Wrestling, Lacrosse, and Football. Sam is well-respected by teammates, peers, and teachers and goes out of his way to support everyone in achieving success by meeting their needs first and leading by example." 

  • Preston Steve - Newark senior attackman - Roberts Wesleyan
    Head Coach John Hicks says: "Take away his playing ability which is outstanding he just is a great young man that plays this game with honor and respect and gives it his all and never backs down. He's not big but he plays like a giant. His stats are great but take them away and you still have the makings of a All-American young man. He has done everything ever asked of him and more. He's always trying to help his teammates get better and genuinely cares about how they are doing. I've coached for nine years now, and Preston is by far the best overall player and young man I have ever had the pleasure to coach."

  • Mike Valent - Rush-Henrietta senior face off specialist - Last Year as selected as an All-Academic - Hobart
    Head Coach Tom MacMillan says: "Mikey is one of the best kids that I have ever coached. He has been a captain for me for the past 2 years and I trust that he will always make the right decisions. He is a responsible player and a great teammate. He is always willing to help out his younger teammates and is always willing to share his skills with our youth players. He is also just a great person who is respectful of others and the rules of lacrosse. I think above else he honors the game of lacrosse. He always gives 100% no matter what. In drills and in games Mikey is always the hardest working player."

2023 All-Academics

  • Sam Gotham - Victor senior attackman - Stony Brook
    Head Coach Dan Stone says: "As a student-athlete, Sam's achievements on and off the field are remarkable. He has earned High Honor Roll 15 consecutive semesters while completing challenging courses with electives intended to challenge himself. Sam is a member of the National Honor Society and the Business Honor Society. He is a voice for teammates and actively seeks their ideas and opinions, and also advocates for others when they may not feel comfortable doing so themselves. Sam's advocacy makes a positive difference for the entire team. These same qualities are present in the work he does as a leader with many school and community groups." 

  • Jackson McEnerney - Livonia-Avon senior attackman - RIT
    Head Coach John Sciera says: "Jackson has taken a leadership role on this team starting his sophomore year. It is not easy to take athletes from two schools and mend them together as a cohesive unit. Jackson has stepped up in many ways in helping both on the field and off organizing activities to bring his team mates together as a cohesive unit. Jackson is fiercely competitive on the field but demands that his teammates honor the game and each other with their play on the field."

  • Andy Mcfadden - Bloomfield-Honeoye senior defenseman - Uncommitted
    Head Coach Joe Sidari says, "As a captain this year, he has been a positive and uplifting voice for our younger players and goes out of his way to make sure they are getting the help they need and understand what they are supposed to do. He is also a student who is taking full advantage of his senior year by taking a full course load of AP and IB classes and still maintaining a high weighted GPA. Andy is part of the National Honor Society and is the recipient of the College Board National Rural and Small-Town Recognition Program Award."

  • Cameron Mesh - Spencerport senior midfielder - Uncommitted
    Head Coach Bill Buttaro says, "Cam Mesh is a rare talent. He faces off, he plays offense, he plays defense... He's on man up and he's on man down. Cam is the true definition of a midfielder. He plays almost 48 minutes a game and never says a word. He does whatever it takes to win and is everything our section and area could want to represent us. He is one of the hardest working players I have ever seen play the sport. The younger kids on the team look up to him and feed off of his energy. He is an outstanding citizen who puts in time with the Youth in our community."

  • Ben Steingass - Pittsford senior midfielder - Amherst
    Head Coach Andrew Whipple says, "Ben has been an Honor Roll Student throughout every semester in high school. He has a 4.0 unweighted GPA with a very rigorous coarse load. He is a member of the National Honor Society at Mendon High School. He was also selected as Mendon High School's sole nominee for the Harvey E. Anderson Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to students who have participated in Section V sports, have been diligent in academics and athletics and exhibit self-motivation and extraordinary effort. He is an amazing young man and one of the best in lacrosse."

In the Class B semi-finals, Irondequoit came out with the first three goals, but Victor came back with the win. In the second game at Pittsford Sutherland, in a close game that was not determined until the fourth quarter, Spencerport defeated Schroeder 6-4, sending the Rangers to their first Sectional finals. In Class D, Penn Yan scored four goals in the first quarter and led at the half 7-3 on their way to a 13-3 win over Marcus Whitman.

In the second game (7:30), the Class A champion will be determined as second seeded McQuaid Jesuit plays top seeded Pittsford. McQuaid (13-3) has won their last five games. They have not yet won a Sectional Championship and their only appearance in the finals was in 2007 where they fell to Geneva (in Class B).

On Wednesday the first game (5:00) will determine the Class D champion as top seeded Aquinas (13-4) will play second seeded Penn Yan (11-7). The teams last met in the finals in 2018 and have played for the Championship five times. The Mustangs won four of those games and Aquinas is the only team that has defeated Penn Yan since 1996.

Jackson would like to give credit to the defense for holding Churchville to 3 goals in the second half. Jackson passed the 250th point for his varsity career on Sat. Vs Churchville."

Offensive Player of the Week

Sean OlvanyRex Kesselring - Pittsford Attackman

Rex Kesselring Has been a majory player for Pittsford since tenth grade and had been in on a number of high-pressure moments, but one of the best was his game-winning goal against Canandaigua in the third overtime period.

As for big gmaes, he had 2g-1a in the 7-6 win vs West Genesee, 3g in the 8-8 win vs CBA and 2g in the 8-7 win vs St. Joseph.

Pittsford Head Coach Andrew Whipple says: "Rex has had an amazing senior season. As a captain of our team, he has become a true leader. Rex also is one of our leading scorers, however that is not what is important to him. Rex just wants to win and see his teammates succeed!"

Defensive Player of the Week

With 195 saves this season he is a 63% goalie with over 700 minutes in the goal. The Wildcat senior is a SUNY Morrisville commit in his third year in the Varsity goal.

Marcus Whitman Head Coach Michael Gorton says, " I've had the pleasure of coaching Blake since second grade.  He is one of the hardest workers in our program and embodies the “grow the game” mindset by working with our youth throughout the year.  He’s been a team captain the last two seasons and shows a level of toughness few players possess.  He’s had multiple big games for us this season, none bigger than Seton Catholic.  Blake had two amazing saves in the last minutes of the game to preserve the win."

Defensive Player of the Week

Newark Head Coach John Hicks says, "This is his first year playing goalie. He has always played attack and even at times this year has been put at attack to give us a spark. He has a huge passion for the game and with that passion comes with hard work. Thomas always wants shots no matter what the drill is or anything, he wants to be in the net. In the game against gates he made some great saves and he didn't let him getting a penalty go to his head, he went back in and made some great saves and proved he has the mental toughness to play in net. He works very hard and is a great kid."
