2015 Times Leader Boys Soccer Player of the Year Mike Bazadona ends brilliant career

<p><strong>Matt Davison, Jr., D, Coughlin</strong></p><p>An All-State player for the Crusaders, Davison was perhaps the biggest factor as to why they only gave up seven goals in the regular season, including 11 shutouts, and finished unbeaten in the conference for the second straight season. He also played a part on defense with eight goals, two assists and 18 points.</p><p><strong>Junior Martinez, Sr., MF, Coughlin</strong></p><p>A big part of the Crusaders offense, Martinez posted 12 goals, nine assists and 33 points in the regular season. His most notable contributions came in the postseason when he scored four times as Coughlin reached the district title game for the third time in four years. He&#8217;s part of a very successful senior class at Coughlin, which claimed a pair of district golds, and lost just a total of six times in those seasons.</p><p><strong>George Oko, So., Forward, Coughlin</strong></p><p>One of the top up-and-comers in the WVC, Oko picked up from a good freshman season and showed even more of his abilities this season posting 14 goals, 13 assists and 41 points for the Crusaders. His 13 helpers were good for second in Division II. In addition to those regular season stats, he also scored five times in the postseason.</p><p><strong>Kyle Gegaris, Jr., MF, Crestwood</strong></p><p>His 13 goals this season passed the total he&#8217;s had in each of his first two seasons when he found the back of the net 12 times each in his freshman and sophomore seasons. He also totaled four assists and 30 points this season. To top off his regular season, Gegaris picked up four playoff goals, including the only one in a 1-0 win over Lake-Lehman in the quarterfinals.</p><p><strong>R.J. Kresge, Sr., MF, Crestwood</strong></p><p>One of the fastest players in the conference, Kresge put together his best season with the Comets scoring 13 goals, to tie for the team high, while handing out three assists and tallying 29 points. In the postseason, he picked up his game even more registering four more scores.</p><p><strong>Lance Lysiak, Sr. GK, Crestwood</strong></p><p>A two-time Times Leader all-star, Lysiak posted six shutouts in the regular season, and had five other matches when he allowed just one goal. He then recorded three more shutouts in the District 2 Class 2A Tournament as the Comets won their first district title since 1993.</p><p><strong>Christian Kimmerle, Sr., MF, Dallas</strong></p><p>The Mountaineers entered the District 2 Class 2A Tournament as one of the hottest teams and almost pulled off an upset after going 13 straight matches without a loss. Kimmerle, who scored 15 goals and accounted for 10 assists in the regular season, also picked up three goals and three assists in the playoffs.</p><p><strong>Eric Schramm, So., M, Holy Redeemer</strong></p><p>He was the WVC Division III leader in points with 26 by tallying 10 goals and six assists. If not for a tough draw in the District 2 Class A Tournament, the Royals might have gone further instead of falling to eventual champion Wyoming Seminary in the quarterfinals for the second straight season. In the postseason, he recorded a goal and assist in a first round win over Carbondale.</p><p><strong>Tanner MacDougall, Sr., MF, Lake-Lehman</strong></p><p>One of the top all-around players in the Wyoming Valley Conference over the last four seasons, MacDougall has had a brilliant career. He tallied 12 assists this season, the third-most in Division II, while also helping the Black Knights to a 14-2 record in the regular season and their first win over Dallas in Cleary Cup history. In fact, Lake-Lehman&#8217;s only losses this season came to unbeaten Coughlin, and District 2 Class 2A champ Crestwood. Over the last two years, MacDougall totaled 11 goals, 23 assists and 45 points.</p><p><strong>Ed Lukowski, Sr., F, Nanticoke</strong></p><p>Being selected as All-State, he led the conference in goals with 35 and led the league lead in points with 86. When factoring in nonconference and playoff matches, Lukowski&#8217;s total for the season is 43 goals, 21 assists and 107 points. In a glorious career with the Trojans, he became the school&#8217;s all-time leading scorer besting his father&#8217;s record. In four years, Lukowski registered 103 goals and 49 assists for 255 points.</p><p><strong>Kyle Hall, Sr. GK, Wyoming Seminary</strong></p><p>The Blue Knights cruised to their second straight District 2 Class A gold medal, and Hall was a big part of that reeling off a stretch of more than a month when he didn&#8217;t allow a goal to an opponent. In the team&#8217;s state playoff loss, he had a remarkable showing making nine saves.</p><p><strong>Andrew Kim, Jr., MF, Wyoming Seminary</strong></p><p>Kim&#8217;s play in the postseason was a key factor in the Blue Knights&#8217; success as he went on a scoring spree of six goals and three assists in a three-game span lifting the team to the District 2 Class A title game before they won on penalty kicks over Montrose. Kim also had a stellar regular season with seven goals, four assists and 18 points.</p><p><strong>Michael Kim, Jr., MF, Wyoming Seminary</strong></p><p>The Blue Knights snapped a streak for the Wyoming Valley Conference of not winning a match in the state tournament in nine seasons. The streak ended thanks to Kim&#8217;s two goals in the 2-1 victory over Millville in the first round of the PIAA Class A Championships. In the regular season, he tallied 7 goals, 4 assists and 18 points.</p><p><strong>Joyssen Gonzalez, Jr., M, Wyoming Valley West</strong></p><p>A key component in the middle of the Spartans lineup, Gonzalez piled up 24 points this season consisting of eight goals and eight assists.</p><p><strong>Hunnter Maxwell, Sr., D Wyoming Valley West</strong></p><p>Playing both offense and defense for Valley West, Maxwell led the team&#8217;s defense, which only allowed 12 goals in the regular season. He also got his share of touches on offense compiling eight goals and three assists for 19 points.</p><style>
