McCreary and Kiaski Named All-Ohio!

 

Jackson Seniors Evan McCreary and Dustin Kiaski were honored by the OSSCA as they were named to the Div 1 all-Ohio team. McCreary was named to the first team, while Kiaski was named to the second team. Both were 4-year starters at Jackson and were co-MVP's of the 2008 squad. Additionally, McCreary was named the Player of the Year in the Federal League and the Greater Akron District while Kiaski was named the Player of the Year in Stark County. "I am honored to have the opportunity to work and challenge two of the best players to ever come through Jackson," commented Jackson coach Michael Biros. "They have provided the Jackson community with leadership, service, and spectacular highlights for the past four years! We will sorely miss them on and off the field as they move on." 

 

Jackson also graduates seven other influential Bears as they leave their mark as the most decorated class in Jackson sports history. The 2008 Polar Bears (17-2-3) captured their 6th league title in the past seven years, won their 2nd straight district championship, and made it to the Elite 8 before bowing out to St. Ignatius 1-0 on a penalty kick.  Over the past two seasons, Jackson has won 35 matches, outscored their league opponents 81-2 (16 games),  2 district titles, and were state finalists in 2007. Senior Quebec Gibbins graduates as a two year starter and was named to the 2nd team all-Federal league. Evan Biedenbach, a 4-year letterwinner and three year starter was named to the 3rd team Federal league as the goalkeeper this season. Seniors Matthew Lawrence, Jordan Robinson-Williams, Steve Winick, Jake Alber, and Kolten Miller round out the class of 2009 and all left their mark as standout players and community leaders. According to Biros, "This group has represented everything that is good with high school athletics. They have earned the respect of their opponents by playing a high- quality style of soccer and handling themselves with class on and off the field. I am very proud of what this group has achieved and the way they have defined how a Jackson soccer player handles themselves on and off the field to future Bears for years to come."

 

The Polar Bears will reload next year and expect more fireworks on the corner of Fulton and Wales as they will return several multiple-year starters. The 3-year starting Junior Derek Zuniga was named to the first team all-district and Federal league while playing almost every position on the field besides keeper.  Junior 2-year starting defensive specialist Greg Marchand (4 goals, 4 assists) was named to the 2nd team all-Federal league this past season. Junior 2-year starter Jimmy Costin (7goals, 12 assists) was named to third team in the Fed as well as Junior defender Brian Zilla returns as yet another two year starter. Danny Baraldi leads a strong sophomore contingent as his 10 goals and 9 assists earned him 3rd team all-Federal league. Jackson returns four other lettermen and will be bolstered by a reserve team that won 13 games in 2008. Congratulations to the Jackson Polar Bears for another wonderful season! Good luck to the class of 2009 as they move on to new challenges and to the underclassmen as they prepare for the 2009 season!
