Alex Redding, Newton North  DIVISION 1
		For the second year in a row, Newton North produced an All-American and for the second year in a row, Newton North produced the Division 1 Player of the Year. Following in the footsteps of Will Haywood, Alex Redding continued the superlative Tiger tradition with a standout season. Aside from being one of only three Massachusetts All-American’s, Redding’s 19 assists were third in EMass, leading Newton North to a 9-4-4 record. In four years at North, three as a starter, he has totaled 32 goals and 45 assists. He was also a member of the All-New England team, in addition to being named to his third Bay State and second EMass All-Star team. He will attend prep school.

Mark DeSantis, Stoneham  DIVISION 2
		After making his first All-Scholastic appearance last fall, DeSantis steps up to Player of the Year recognition. He led the Spartans to the MIAA Division 2 state championship this season. In addition to being named the Middlesex League MVP, DeSantis was named to the All-New England team by the EMass Coaches Association. DeSantis netted 36 goals and 15 assists to lead Stoneham to its second state title. DeSantis is a four-time Middlesex League All-Star and was named to the All-State and All-New England teams. He plays with the Mass Olympic Development Program team and is a Region 1 pool player. He remains undecided about his college plans.

Drew Crowley, Weston  DIVISION 3
		Weston made a resurgence this season, thanks largely in part to its captain, center midfielder and (yes) beat writer. En route to his team’s best season (15-4-1) since 1985, Crowley contributed 10 goals and 11 assists to lead the Wildcats to the Division 3 North final. He was named to the All-State team, and awarded all-star status by the Dual County League and EMass. He also plays club soccer for the Tri-Valley Eagles. After the games, Crowley covered his team for the sports section of Weston’s Town Crier. An honor role student all four years at Weston, Crowley has applied for early admission at Washington and Lee Universities.

David Baumritter, A-B  Division 1
		Baumritter called this season’s squad ‘‘a loose bunch [that] knew how to focus as soon as the whistle blew. The more competitive the games were, the more the boys enjoyed themselves.’’ The Colonials (19-3-3) certainly enjoyed themselves this season, to the tune of a second straight Division 1 North title and another trip to the state final. Despite losing four league all-stars to graduation, Baumritter’s Colonials pulled together to defend their title. A 1997 graduate of the University of Richmond, Baumritter was named Division 1 Coach of the Year last fall by the EMass Soccer Coaches Association.

Jim Carino, Stoneham  DIVISION 2
		A former Stoneham player himself and one of the founders of Spartan soccer nearly 20 years ago, Jim Carino has since turned his program into a veritable EMass dynasty. The Spartans have won three of the last four state titles under Carino. After going undefeated in Division 3 last season, Carino’s team made the move to Division 2. In the process, Carino lost eight starters, most notably last year’s Division 3 Player of the Year Mike DeSantis. Still, Carino weathered the storm, compiling a 14-3-1 record before marching to a second state title. ‘‘This year’s team defied the odds,’’ Carino said. ‘‘They played to the best of their ability to win.’’

Rick Storer, Ipswich  DIVISION 3
		Tucked away in the Cape Ann League, it might be possible to miss the best team in Division 3. Ipswich compiled a sturdy 9-6-3 regular season record, but Storer’s squad made a leap in the tournament, ousting four higher seeds en route to its Division 3 North title. The veteran Storer has coached for 31 years, compiling 271 wins. A 1966 graduate of Gordon College, Storer last won this award in 1989. He is also a three-time Cape Ann League Coach of the Year. His hobbies include landscaping. He described this year’s team as ‘‘a dedicated, hard-working family atmosphere.’’

Eriqueson Almeida, Brockton  MIDFIELD
		As the MVP of the Big Three Conference, Almeida turned more than a few heads with his play for the Boxers. Also selected All-New England by the EMass Coaches Association, Almeida was at his best in close games, contributing five game-winning or -tying goals. He also added six assists from his midfield position. He’s a three-year starter at Brockton and a two-time Big Three All-Star. An honor roll student, Almeida plays for the Cape Cod Crusaders during the summer. A senior, Almeida isn’t sure which college he will attend but is sure that soccer remains in his future.

Joseph Annese, Attleboro  FORWARD
		Wildcats coach Steve Shoff compared giving Annese a direct kick to ‘‘giving Tom Brady an extra chance.’’ Annese lived up to the comparison in the Division 1 South final, scoring on a direct kick, though his team lost the game in double overtime. The all-time leading scorer in Attleboro history with 49 goals and 27 assists, Annese led his squad to a 12-2-7 overall record. He scored the winning goal against Dartmouth to give Attleboro the Eastern Athletic League title. He has played in the Bay State Games for three years and plays club soccer for Juventus USA. An honor roll student, he hopes to play Division 1 soccer in college and is interested in Providence College, the University of New Hampshire, Northeastern, and Holy Cross.

Taylor Bracken, St. John’s Prep  GOALKEEPER
		If you scored against Bracken this season, save the ball. The stingy goalkeeper maintained a 0.47 goals against average and recorded 11 shutouts, including a 3-0 blanking of Salem in the tournament. Bracken picked up where former Eagle teammate Tim Murphy, last year’s All-Scholastic keeper, left off. Bracken was the Catholic Conference MVP, an EMass All-Star, and was named to the All-State squad. He also plays for the Aztec Soccer Club and Essex County Flash. He lists drawing and cars as his interests and is undecided about college.

Christopher Ethier, Beverly  Midfielder
		After watching conference rival Danvers take home consecutive Northeastern Conference titles, Ethier and his scrappy Beverly squad ended the Falcons’ reign, winning the program’s first NEC title since 2001. With 10 goals and 16 assists, Ethier was named the NEC MVP. A three-time EMass All-Star, Ethier was named to the All-New England and All-American teams. He also plays for the the Aztec Soccer Club. His hobbies include boating and fishing. Ethier will attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Patrick Ferreira, GNB Vocational  FORWARD
		The second highest scorer in EMass was the centerpiece of an offense that took the Bears (14-2-0) to the South Coast Conference championship. The SCC player of the year, Ferreira notched 21 goals and 24 assists in his final year at Voc. His 55 career assists were three more than the previous school record, set back in 1994. In only two games this season did Ferreira fail to register a point. He has captained the Coastal squad to the Bay State Games finals the past two years. He also plays indoor soccer. Currently, Ferreira is undecided about his college plans.

Jarred Goldstein, Weymouth  MIDFIELD
		In the ultra-competitive Bay State Carey Division, stocked with powerhouses like Framingham and Newton North, one could be forgiven for overlooking Weymouth. But with the top scorer in the conference leading the team, it was tough to miss. Goldstein collected nine goals and 21 assists during the regular season, but the stats only tell half the story. Goldstein was key to Weymouth’s command of the midfield late in the season, helping the Wildcats outscore opponents, 7-1, in the Division 1 South tournament. Goldstein was an All-Star for the Bay State League, EMass, and was named the team MVP for two years in a row. He plays club soccer for the South Shore United Blazers and the Cape Cod Crusaders in the Mass Premier League.

James Hayward, Acton-Boxboro  MIDFIELD
		The youngest player on this list, Hayward may have been the most dangerous. The prolific sophomore netted 14 goals and 10 assists for the defending Dual County champ Colonials. He scored the eventual game-winner against Lincoln-Sudbury to secure a berth in the Division 1 final. Hayward is an All-State and EMass All-Star. He plays club soccer for the FC Greater Boston Bolts. Hayward also plays baseball and track. In his spare time, he enjoys fishing and mountain biking. He is an honor roll student and has a few more years to make a decision about college.

Jared Joaquin, North Andover  FORWARD
		Joaquin, the team captain, was named Cape Ann League Player of the Year but he didn’t stop there when it came to postseason honors. He also earned All-New England recognition after a season in which he netted 13 goals and added 14 assists. He also played in the Eastern Massachusetts All-Star Game. He runs indoor and outdoor track, and finished second in the Cape Ann League’s 400-meter race in 51.9 seconds. He hopes to play Division 1 or 2 soccer and has interest in Babson, Northeastern, Bentley, Saint Anselm, and Penn State.

Gaston Kelly, Hingham  FORWARD
		Kelly was a goal-scoring machine for a Harbormen squad that did not lose a game until the Division 2 state semifinal against Stoneham. With 36 goals and eight assists, Kelly set a single-season scoring record for Hingham. The junior is a three-time Patriot League All-Star and a two-time Patriot League MVP. He has been named to the All-State and All-New England teams. He has a 3.3 GPA and is a member of the honor roll. He also plays club soccer for the Cape Cod Crusaders in the Mass Premier League. In his spare time, he enjoys cycling, running, and watching movies.

Yesid Ocampo, East Boston  DEFENSE/FORWARD
		East Boston was undefeated in the regular season, and Ocampo was the team’s most well-rounded player. With 17 goals and 15 assists, Ocampo was certainly a threat on offense, but may have been even more valuable to the Jets’ backfield. Eastie has shut out 23 teams in two years, thanks, in large part, to Ocampo’s quarterbacking of the Jet defense. In the Boston City championship this year against West Roxbury, Ocampo and company limited the Raiders to only three shots on net in a 3-0 victory. It was the Jets’ second consecutive city championship. Off the soccer field, Ocampo’s hobbies include computers and softball. In the summer, he plays club soccer for Inter SC Boston. He remains undecided about his college plans.

Nate Seiberling, Sharon  MIDFIELD
		Sharon was one of the surprise teams in the Hockomock League this season, thanks, largely, to Seiberling. The senior cocaptain was named MVP of the conference and is a member of the All-State and All-New England teams as well as being an EMass All-Star. The scrappy midfielder collected seven goals and seven assists for the Eagles. Seiberling is also a member of the track team. He plays club soccer for both the Cape Cod Crusaders and South Shore United Blazers. An honor roll student, Seiberling remains undecided about his college plans for next year.

Colin Vose, Falmouth  FORWARD
		If you blinked during a Clippers match this season, odds are you missed a Colin Vose goal. The senior kept scoreboard operators busy, notching 26 goals for undefeated Falmouth (14-0-4). He was the MVP of the Atlantic Coast League, leading the conference in goals and points. He has been the leading goal-scorer for Falmouth since he started for the team as a sophomore. Vose also plays varsity basketball and lacrosse. A member of the National Honor Society, Vose is interested in attending Holy Cross, Bucknell, or Bentley.
