Page 18 Shelton—Mason County Journal ~ Thursday, June 22, 2023 SHELTON-MASON COUNTY Boys Soccer ' Most Valuable Player —-— Offense Miguel Nolasco . Senior North Mason Midfield/Foward About Nolasco: ~Nolasco was a team captain who scored seven goals. He was a first-team all~Olympic League soccer player for the Bulldogs and helped lead the team to the postseason for the first time in a decade. Miguel Nolas- co’s comments: “I feel like my last season went as good as I wanted it to be. I started off at right-winger after having played there for over a year at Harbor Premier. I found composure in myself as a strong winger and contrib- uted many assists and picked up a few goals, later transitioning three quarters into the season to striker. I foundgthat I had the ability to hold the ball for my midfielders, ’I‘iti Santiago and Javi Ruano, for them to end up assist~ ing me on most of my goals. That would end up having me make first team selections and rank top 3 for MVP of the Olympic Leaguerwhich I was shocked over. Overall, we had a solid team and as one of the se- nior captains, I had to make sure everyone was involved in team ef- forts, after many tough games and tough losses against bigger, more competitive schools, we ended up winning enough games to be able to play in the district playoffs for the first time in over a decade, which was very exciting.” I Coach AJ Gennaro’s comments: “Miguel was our leading goal scorer playing a mix of striker and winger. He is technically skilled and his style is fast—paced. This was the best season North Mason has had in over a decade. We had a large and strong senior'class, butjust as many underclassmen stepped up at important times this season. We had a freshman goalkeeper (Xavier Powell) and a couple other freshmen Angel Salvador (Pedro’s Brother) and Tyler Borseth in the defense that strengthened our side and provide hope for continued strength of the North Mason boys soccer program.” Luis Olivas, Shelton Boys Soccer Most Valuable Player —- Defense ,Pedro Salvador ~ « Junior - North Mason - Central Defense About Salvador: Salvador had three goals and was a team cap— tain for the Bulldogs. He helped lead North Mason to the district tournament. . Pedro Salvador’s comments: “I am very excited to earn an M V P award. You have to fight to reach your dreams. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it. My soccer season went pretty good, didn’t get the best results but hopefully next year will be better.” Coach AJ Gennaro’s: “Pedro played center back and was the pri- mary reason our opponents attacking plays broke down. He’s a physi- cal and fast player, and even with our high defensive line, through balls from opponents were not a threat thanks to him. He has excel‘ lent free kick skills, which is where one of his goals came from and even scored a volley from 28 yards out at home against Kingston.” Edvin Matheus Nicolas, Shelton
