Captain
Get used to hearing and seeing this name. McLeod lit up the scoreboard in his first high school season as the freshman scored 19 goals and handed out 18 assists for the Patriots. His outstanding performance earned him first team all-state by the West Virginia High School Coaches Association and helped the forward secure a spot as a member of the All-OVAC second team. The sky is the limit as he looks to only get better.
Austin Nestor
Wheeling Central
Captain
Nestor finished his stellar career in style.
The senior was named first team all-state by the WVHSSCA after netting 34 goals and dishing out 17 assists for the Maroon Knights. Nestor also turned in 87 total points during the 2021 campaign, which earned him a spot in the OVAC All-Star Game, where he found the back of the net for West Virginia against some of the most talented stars in the area. Nestor was also the 2021 Region 1 Player of the Year.

The junior midfielder is a three-year starter for coach Joe Pepe, who calls Cruny "the heart and soul of the midfield." Cruny netted five goals, four assists and tallied 134 steals and takeaways to earn All-OVAC. He also has a 4.0 grade point average.
Michael Duff
Steubenville Catholic
The Crusaders relied on Duff all season. The junior keeper made 131 saves and had a 2.20 goals against average. He also earned two shutouts en route to first team All-OVAC and first team Eastern District accolades. He'll be a player to watch next year.
Dannen Foraker

McFarland netted five goals and assisted on three but it was on defense where the senior shined the most. His efforts did not go unnoticed as he was named first team All-OVAC and first team all-state by the WVHSSCA in his final prep campaign.
Tyler McMahon

Lucas Munoz
Edison
Munoz was a crucial piece of the puzzle for the Wildcats this season. He delivered 18 goals to lead the Edison offense and helped out his teammates with four assists along the way. His efforts earned him a spot in the OVAC All-Star Game against the best players in the area, which Ohio won in a snow-filled contest. He was also the third runner-up for all-state and was named all-district in Division III.
