All-Star Jr. Riders

The Quebec Junior Football League announced its all-star team a couple of weeks ago and I want to record that here.

1st Team

OL- Joey Pisani
RB- Jahdel Ferron
WR- Jaeger Prot

DL- Darryl Jean-Baptist
LB- Bamki Adewalle
DB- Jordon Gorgichuck

2nd Team

OL- Eric Bento
OL- Paul Lukusa
WR- Vincenzo Trunzo
WR- Tavon Hibbert

DL- C.J. Wallace
LB- Austin MacKay
LB- Donovan McLean
DB- Philip Jean-Baptist
DB- Justin Butler

Notes:
  • Ferron is credited with a league-leading 500 yards rushing.
  • MacKay and Gorgichuck (sp?) also returned kicks for the team.
  • The league doesn't appear to recognize special teams among its all-star selections but for what it's worth, Jonah Zlatinskzy led the league with 12 field goals and added 9 converts. And if they don't, Zlatinsksy gets the last laugh as he's been invited to the CFL's regional combine.
In terms of individual awards, it appears (based on the Jr Riders Facebook group) that Ferron hauled in the outstanding offensive player award and MacKay the outstanding special teams player one. Pisani was named the outstanding offensive lineman. Bento got the offensive rookie of the year award, which is in interesting distinction for an offensive lineman to nail down.

The picture at above right was lifted from Austin MacKay's Instagram account and cropped to be a better fit. I have no idea who took it but it wasn't me.
