DEREK CRAIG, SR., CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ACADEMY
Derek Craig and the rest of Christian Brothers Academy's seniors wanted badly to erase the bitter memory of falling short of expectations in 2007, and the midfielder's breakout year helped the Colts do just that. Craig entered 2008 with just 12 career points but exploded for 50 goals and 47 assists to help CBA move back into its customary perch atop the Shore Conference. His 97 points were second in the Shore as he helped the Colts capture the Class A North division title and the Shore Conference Tournament title. His strong play also helped the Colts reach the semifinals of the NJSIAA Non-Public A playoffs. His career totals of 57 goals and 52 assists for 109 points place him ninth of CBA's all-time list and in 2008 he was selected as the school's sportsmanship award winner. The tri-captain and two-year starter will attempt to walk on to the lacrosse team at Bucknell University.
