Sam Greenfield

Wyoming Area, Junior

Greenfield moved up in the ranks after earning second-team Times Leader all-star honors as a sophomore. The midfielder helped the Warriors to the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 title with 52 goals and 12 assists.

Kyle Richards

Crestwood, Senior

As a defensive midfielder, Richards played a key two-way role on a Comets team that followed up a winning regular season with a District 2 Class 2A championship. He produced 27 goals and 12 assists.

Christian Motley

Dallas, Sophomore

Motley is already a two-time Times Leader all-star. He earned honors on defense last season. This season, as a long-stick midfielder he handled 101 groundballs, caused 32 turnovers and had two assists while helping the Mountaineers get into the three-way playoff for the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 1 title.

Nick Ganter

Wyoming Seminary, Sophomore

Ganter was one of the leaders of a Blue Knights defense that limited opponents to 6.6 goals per game while reaching division and district title games. He led the team in takeaways with more than one per game and also handled 18 groundballs.

John Betzko

Dallas, Sophomore

Betzko, a defender, handled 49 groundballs and caused 17 turnovers while leading the defensive unit for the Mountaineers, who matched the best record in the Wyoming Valley Conference at 10-3.

Justin Joseph

Wyoming Area, Junior

Joseph kept the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 champions in possession, setting up their offense by winning 86 percent of faceoffs. He was a second-team Times Leader all-star in the same role last year as a sophomore.

Coach of the Year

Brian Zabroski, Crestwood

Only one team other than Delaware Valley has ever won a District 2 championship in boys lacrosse. Crestwood has managed both of those title in just three seasons under Zabroski. Although the 2015 team had the better overall record at 17-5, this year’s district champions made school history by adding a state tournament win. During the regular season, the Comets were last in Division 1 of the Wyoming Valley Conference where all five teams went 5-0 against Division 2 and finished with winning records and within three games of each other in the final standings. The improvement they showed late in the regular season, however, continued though the district championship run. Crestwood is 43-22 in Zabroski’s three seasons.
