Pioneers Dominate CAL Small All Stars

In this week's Villager, you will find many photos, my game report and articles on co-captain Gino Cohee and the Pioneer's point scoring spree this year. There is also an article by Dan Tomasello listing the Pioneers who were named to the CAL Small All League Team.

The Pioneers captured six of the 24 spots on the team, most of any team in the league.

Co-Captain A. J. Roberto led the way, being named the League's Player of the Year for his strong two way play as a receiver and linebacker. This is his second year earning All League honors.

This is the second year in a row that a Pioneer was named Player of the Year. Receiver/defensive back Chris Grassi earned the honor last year.


Lynnfield nailed down four of the 11 offensive slots. Co-Captains Gino Cohee at quarterback - his second straight year as All League, Jeff  Gannon at running back and Steve Ullian at wide receiver were all named. Offensive lineman Jonathan Roberto joined his brother on the all league squad, one of only four juniors selected.

Senior Rick Berardino was selected as a defensive back, the only Pioneer named to the All League defense.

Four other Pioneers received Honorable Mention recognition: Senior defensive backs Tim Shannon and Wes Sullivan and senior lineman/linebacker Craig Cataldo. Sophomore lineman Andrew Kibarian also received Honorable Mention, one of only five sophomores named.

The group will be among those honored at the team's breakup banquet on December 12.
