Standout Players to Keep an Eye On

First up is David Alas from East Boston. This player was a powerhouse last season, leading the Jets all the way to the Division 4 semifinals. Alas had a knack for the dramatic, scoring the winning goals in back-to-back tournament games. Fans will certainly be eager to see what he brings to the pitch this season.

Over at Oliver Ames, Nick Babanikas had a season to remember, notching five goals and one assist in the tournament, while also contributing six goals and five assists during the regular season. His efforts helped secure a third consecutive Division 2 title for his team. Talk about consistency!

Ikaro Da Silva from Lowell made waves last season as the Merrimack Valley Conference’s Goalkeeper of the Year. With 13 shutouts under his belt, he established himself as a brick wall between the posts, and there’s no telling how many goals he will deny this year.

Some Rising MVPs

How can we forget Marcelo Diamantino from Barnstable? The reigning Cape & Islands MVP delivered an impressive tally of 33 goals and 14 assists last year. As a junior, he’s set the bar high, and fans will be eager to see if he can top that this season!

Caio Dos Santos of Dover-Sherborn also played a critical role in leading the Raiders to their Division 3 title run last fall. As a returning All-Scholastic midfielder, he will surely be a key player to watch once again.

From Weymouth, Mason Fasoli helped the Wildcats seize the third seed in Division 1 by scoring 10 goals and assisting in six last year. His contributions will be invaluable as they aim for even higher aspirations this time around.

Defensive Dynamos

Let’s give a shout out to Oliver Helmling from Newton South, a returning Bay State Conference All-Star. He led a defense that was among the most formidable last season, making him essential for the team’s success.

Garrison Murphy from St. John’s Prep seems ready to bounce back strong after suffering an injury last season. He scored 14 goals as a sophomore and is already gearing up for his next challenge, with plans to head to UMass next year.

Rising Stars in the Making

Rocco Scenna, a creative midfielder from Lynnfield and a returning Cape Ann All-Star, has committed to Bowdoin for the fall. His imaginative plays are sure to dazzle fans on the field.

We also can’t overlook Max Tillmann from Medfield, who made a name for himself last season as a Tri-Valley All-Star during his freshman year and is poised to be a key player in the Warriors’ midfield.
