One of our award winners is (probably) in that pile... Somewhere.

We've already unveiled our annual CMass Lax All-Star team, so I won't waste any time with introductions. Here are our award winners for 2017.

SuiteSports' 2017 MIAA Baseball Player of the Year

By SuiteSports Staff

SuiteSports.com and its panel of high school sports correspondents are pleased to announce today that Mike Vasil, a junior right-handed pitcher out of Boston College High School, is the recipient of the first ever “SuiteSports MIAA Baseball Player of the Year” award, given to the top high school baseball player in Massachusetts.

Vasil was selected among a number of candidates for the award who showcased their talents both during the regular season and in the state tournament.

The Eagle ace joins Cambridge center Dimon Carrigan (basketball) and Duxbury quarterback Bobby Maimaron (football) as other SuiteSports Player of the Year award winners during this high school sports year. As our Player of the Year, Vasil is the first member of our 2017 MIAA Baseball All-State team, which will be released later today in its entirety.

We've just finished up the MIAA lacrosse state finals at Boston University's Nickerson Field, so that means our annual CMass Lax All-Star team and Award Winners, along with our final CMass Lax Power Rankings, are just around the corner.

Usually, I will do a massive player watch list toward the end of the regular season, but life got in the way a bit this year. Still, I want to give players, parents, coaches and fans a chance to nominate their favorite lax bro, either by posting his highlights and stats in the comments section, or by sending them to me on Twitter at @HerewegoJoe, or via email at jparello86@gmail.com.

Basically, if you think I've omitted someone, or you want to nominate someone for one of our awards (Breakout Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year), just post their numbers, and highlights if you have them, along with a brief argument for why they should be included, or win a given award.

Both the regular season and postseason will be taken into account, and if I've made any mistakes (position, name spelling, etc), feel free to correct me. So, here are the players I'm looking at right now.

Expect the All-Star team and Award Winners to be released by week's end.

I won't waste your time with any introductions, since I've already written a year in review, and presented my final Power Rankings of 2016.

So, without further ado, here are our All-Stars and Award Winners for the 2016 Central Mass lacrosse season. Note that under each position tier (first team, second team, third team, honorable mention) players are listed alphabetically by school, and that you can click any image to enlarge.

The regular season is almost over, so it's time to start thinking about which guys in Central Mass will make our All-Star team, and win our annual awards.

Both the regular season and the postseason will be taken into account in my final All-Star team, so much is still to be determined. But, these are the guys that I'm looking at right now.

If you think I've omitted someone, or you would just like to nominate your favorite lax bro, post their film/Hudl page in the comments below, or email them to to me at jparello86@gmail.com.

Or, heck, Tweet them to me @HerewegoJoe.

Anyways, here are the guys on my watch list by position, they are sorted alphabetically by their school. The bottom also includes my nominees for our end-of-season awards.

Obviously, the playoffs will have a dramatic impact on the team and those awards.

The regular season is nearly through, so now seems like as good a time as any to present you with my Central Mass All-Star watch list.

Both the regular season and the postseason will be taken into account in my final All-Star team, so much is still to be determined. But, these are the guys that I'm looking at right now.

If you would like to nominate a player, just leave their name, school, class and position in the comments. Or, you can email your suggestions to me at jparello86@gmail.com.

Or heck, you can just tweet me.

Anyways, here are the guys on my watch list by position, they are sorted alphabetically by their school. The bottom also includes my nominees for Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Player of the Year and Breakout Player of the Year.

Obviously, the playoffs will have a dramatic impact on the team and those awards.

Oh, and if I have anything wrong (position, name spelling, etc), feel free to correct me in the comments section as well.
