Coach of the Year
Drew Gibson, Jackson: Over the past two seasons, Gibson has guided the Jaguars to new heights. This season, they turned in their most successful season by winning the Shore Conference Tournament and advancing to the final of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV tournament. Both were first-time accomplishments for the program, which produced four DigitalSports Legends of the Fall All-Star members. The Jaguars also got the best of state power Brick Memorial in two out of the three meetings between the teams.
Team of the Year
Freehold: There were a couple of hiccups along the way for the Colonials, but in the end they were the only one left standing in the Shore Conference and in Group III. They won the Class B North division title, advanced to the semifinals of the Shore Conference Tournament and captured the Central Jersey and overall Group III titles. The Colonials allowed just 10 goals all season and recorded 17 shutouts. Most of the team returns next season as the Colonials look to build a dynasty.
