Players of the Week - May 15, 2006
May 15, 2006 - The SportsFive Player of the Week awards are out for week seven and the winners this week were selected from a field of fifty-eight nominees.
The Mike Barnard Sportsman of the Week is senior defenseman Josh Lewis of Waterloo. A player who is called, "a great kid on an and off the field", Josh is a high honor student who encourages his teammates, who plays hard in every game and is very respectful to opposing coaches, players and officials..
The Graphtex Offensive Player of the Week is awarded to senior midfielder, Mike Arvan of Penfield. Part of a strong offensive unit at Penfield, Mike is one of the best offensive players in the Section. Recently he scored 11g-5a in one week in games with Irondequoit, Fairport and Pittsford. He was instrumental in wins against Bishop Timon and Binghamton and is one of the go-to guys for the Patriots.
The Graphtex Defensive Player of the Week is awarded to junior defenseman and Long Stick middie, Michael Manley of Penn Yan. Although the Mustang defense is full of talent, and a number have received awards this year, few can doubt that Mike is one of the best on-on-one defensemen to come out of Section Five. His dramatic takes, and willingness to go to the goal has helped Penn Yan throughout this season. After winning the face off ground ball in overtime this week, Mike took the ball to the net and gave the Mustangs a 10-9 overtime win against Canandaigua.
