Coach of the Year: Dave Porvaznik (1st year Venice coach) The Indians made a dramatic turnaround in Porvaznik's first season as head coach -- going from a 6-8-2 team that was eliminated in the first round of playoffs to a team that went 13-3-2 and won its district. Porvaznik made some notable changes, like insti- tuting strict practice rules, cutting players with attitude problems and being flexible with his playbook as Venice finished in the regional quarterfinals. Second Team Forward - Trayton White (Lemon Bay senior) A three-year varsity starter, White was a solid performer all season long -- leading Lemon Bay with nine goals along with six assists. Though double teamed most of the year, he was still able to beat defenses and find the net. White is a natural leader who fought hard every 80 minutes and was a model player, coach Hertz said. Forward - Dylan Salomon (Charlotte junior) The Tarpons' leading scorer with 12 goals, Salomon also had the second-most assists on the team with five -- despite playing in just 15 of the team's 20 games. Forward - Eduardo Maldonado (DeSoto County senior) The Bulldogs' leading scorer with 13 goals and two assists, Maldonado was on the field for almost every minute of every game. He helped lead the team to a 10-7-3 record and a finish in the district semifinals. Midfielder - Michael Greggs (Lemon Bay junior) A second-year varsity player, Greggs had eight goals and an assist. He began the year as a midfielder, but after losing a starting forward to a broken leg, he was moved to forward. His skill with the ball gave Lemon Bay a needed jump- start to break a midseason slump. Greggs is expected to be the leading goal scorer for Lemon Bay in 2021-22. Midfielder - Nick Zidanavicius (Lemon Bay junior) Zidanavicius was one of the Mantas' top players with eight goals and seven assists. A team captain and second- year varsity player, he often broke up opposing offense attacks in the midfield before they become a threat, playing nearly every minute of every game. Defender - Dylan Marsh (Charlotte senior) The Tarpons' best defender, Marsh was a multi-faceted player -- shifting to the midfield at times -- as he scored five goals and recorded six assists. Marsh missed just two games all year as he was one of the team's most consis- tent players. Defender - Reese Adamovsky (Venice freshman) One of the area's bigger freshmen at 5-foot-11, Adamovsky quickly established himself as a key part of the Indians' defense. Venice allowed less than two goals per game and held North Port to one in the district final, and Admovsky was a big reason why. Goalkeeper - Kendrick Cryer (Port Charlotte senior) Part of a Port Charlotte team that had to shut down its JV team midseason just to have enough bodies for its varsity squad, Cryer helped keep the Pirates in most of their games. He made an area-high 198 saves and even played in the field at times, recording two goals and an assist. BOYS SOCCER FROM PAGE 34 FAST PROFESSIONAL SERVICE EVERY TIME!
