MVC announces 2014 honors

John Oteri on right

MVC player of the year went to our very own John Oteri.  John has been with HGR since before the R.  “The first time I met John was in 2007 at Andover youth day, shortly after that he started coming in for lessons and before long he became a staple of HGR.  We are all really proud of John over here (the entire HGR staff), he has turned into a man and one hell of a lacrosse player.  I’m not looking forward to coaching against him next year (John is headed to Pace University)” -Coach Brazill-

The MVC all conference team was comprised of 4 attackmen, 10 midfielders, 4 defenseman, a goalie and one specialty team player.  HGR had an all conference player at every position including 5 middies. The MVC all League team boasted 3 HGR attackmen, 3 HGR midfielders, 2 HGR defensemen and an HGR Goalie. 

Jay White received the MVC Man of the Year award.  Jay’s son is an HGR alumni and Jay is a long time friend of the program.  He coached with Coach Brazill for four years and coach Smyth for two.   Congratulations to Jay, although nobody at HGR is surprised.  Jay should be the man of the year every year with all he does for the local lacrosse community.  Jay has been or currently is: MBYLL board member, an official, a youth coach, a youth director, a high school coach, a player and a constant shining example of what it means to give back to the sport.  “I’ve never scene someone love the sport in such a pure way as Jay White”  – Peter Smyth –
