Boys Soccer Player of the Year: Ethan Czaporowski, freshman, Belchertown

Scored game-winning overtime goal against Medway, delivering the Orioles their first state championship since 2013. Tallied 21 goals and 14 assists, both of which led Belchertown. First freshman named to Division 3 All-State team from western Mass. in 25 years. Collected three hat tricks.

โ€œEthan has absolutely been one of the most dynamic players Iโ€™ve seen in western Massachusetts let alone Division 3 and heโ€™s just getting started. Heโ€™s one of the most genuinely humble kids out there on the pitch. One of those kids who will run through a brick wall for you and an awesome teammate.โ€ โ€” Belchertown coach Zach Siano.
