Other Player of the Year nominees
Mikey Vanaman, St. Augustine Prep (Sr.): Vanaman was one of the toughest players in South Jersey to guard this season, as evidenced by his team-leading 41 assists. He also scored 33 goals, including a couple of huge goals during a late-season victory over Ocean City, the best team in the Cape-Atlantic League. Prep plays an independent schedule, and Vanaman came through time and again against some of the toughest competition in the state. The Wagner commit helped lead Prep to a 14-4 record.
Colin Cooke, Mainland (Jr.): Cooke was one of the most prolific scorers in the CAL, and a reloading Mustangs team needed his efforts to keep pace with the likes of Ocean City and Absegami. Cooke led the Mustangs with an impressive 63 goals and also added 16 assists while scooping up more than 100 ground balls. Cooke helped Mainland post a 12-7 overall record, including 4-0 in the CAL National.
Anthony Inserra, Ocean City (Sr.): The Red Raiders had one of their best seasons ever, posting a 19-3 record, and had a bunch of guys rack up some big-time scoring numbers. What goes unnoticed sometimes is the player who puts those attack players in position to score. Inserra was one of the best distributors in the league this season, racking up a team-high 48 assists. He also scored 21 goals, one of six players on Ocean City’s roster to tally 20 or more goals.
Billy Kroeger, Ocean City (Sr.): Any lacrosse coach worth his salt will tell you the key to winning games is possession, and the Red Raiders had one of the top faceoff men in the state. Kroeger won about 75 percent of the faceoffs he attempted this year, which allowed the Red Raiders to quickly get into their offense and score goals in bunches. He was also a team captain and one of the most respected players in South Jersey. Kroeger was a second-team all-state selection this season.
