WATERLOO REGION (November 29, 2016) – With St. Mary’s sweeping the District 8 junior boys soccer league, it is no surprise they also lead in the all-star nominations.

Grade 10 striker Arber Osdautaj lead the Eagles with two goals in the District 8 finals and 11 on the season, while his grade nine teammate Luka Mandeki, also named as an all-star, scored the over time, game winner in the final. Alben Osdautaj would score eight goals on the season and Nathan Pereira spent the season as the key defender for St. Mary’s. Eagles’ goalkeeper Mark Majerski was also named as an all-star.

St. David’s had a great push toward the championship with exceptional performances all season from key players. Tyresse Griffith lead the Celtics in scoring with 11 goals on the season while Brett Springer added eight, including one in the playoff final. Sam Publicover was a great midfield-defender for the squad as he added one goal for the season.

Grade 10 centre-midfielder, Alex Amaral would get the all-star nod for the Mustangs as they finished with a 4-3-1 record on the season.

Carter Jackson would pot five goals for the Saints as the striker represents St. Benedict’s on the all-star team, while Resurrection’s goalkeeper Justin Vasey would be named to the team from Resurrection.
