FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In an effort to help build and promote high school football, the Toronto Argonauts are sending out weekly updates on the teams in the TDSB Varsity Development Tier 2 League throughout the high school football season.
The coaches from each team in the Varsity Development Tier 2 League were invited to submit their team’s MVP based on both on-field and off-field performance. Here are the team MVPs for the week ending November 6:
Sir Sandford Fleming Academy
MVP: Khalid Omar
Position: Slotback, PR, KR
Grade: 12
Coaches: Barton Harvey, Ian Vincent, Geoff Sura
“As much as we would like to spread the wealth, Khalid Omar will again be our team MVP for the THIRD week in a row. He again scored 2 touchdowns in our huge win over Westview but this time accomplished the feat through a 55-yard interception return and a 61-yard punt return! He is a leader for our undefeated Chargers both on the field and off. He has taken over the game each week for us. Everyone is waiting to see what he does in week 4.”
David and Mary Thomson Collegiate
MVP: Matt Coffey
Position: Linebacker
Grade: 11
Coaches: Kevin Boyle, Mike Winter, Jacob Barghout
“Matt has been one of our best defensive players all season. Not only does he always finish his tackles, he had an interception this week. It’s nice to see him get rewarded like that after playing such dominant defensive games in the last two weeks of the regular season.”
C.W. Jefferys Collegiate
MVP: Jeffery Abdubofur
Position: Linebacker
Grade: 12
Coach: Ehsan Jahangirvand
“Jeffery played great defence throughout the entire game. He managed to attain a few great sacks and numerous hard tackles against the opposing team. His enthusiasm, athleticism, and encouragement were clearly apparent in the game as well as in practice.”
Lester B. Pearson C.I.
MVP: Ashton Misir
Position: Linebacker
Grade: 11
Coaches: James Reznicki
“Ashton played his best game of the season at middle linebacker, leading the team in tackles and leading to defence in another strong effort.”
Eastern Commerce C.I./Monarch Park
MVP: Maurice LaChapelle, Tyler Lehman, Angelo Jules and Brandon Dey
Position: Various
Grade: 12
Coach: Sean Henderson
“These four gentlemen have been invaluable to our football program. They played or practiced every day, rain or shine, with complete dedication. They all graduate this year and are moving on to other endeavours. The Eastern Commerce/Monarch Park football program is proud to have these four young men represent our first graduating football players.”
