Ishaan
Kashyap
Midfield
Williamsville East
Kashyap can take opposing teams into the
“Danger Zone.” If Buscaglia is Goose, then
Kashyap is Maverick. A lethal combination
of speed and flair, Ishaan causes fits for
opposing midfielders and defenders. Not
afraid to be physical in the middle of the
pitch, Kashyap has “broken” more than
a few ankles around Wester New York.
Jonah
Kozak
Center-Midfield
Frontier
Possibly the most European influenced
player in all WNY. Where most American
mids rely on brute force and relentless
speed, Kozak carries the attributes of the
quintessential Spanish/Italian/possession-
based midfielder. Kozak can score (11 goals)
but with 16 leads ECIC 1 (WNY’s Top Division)
in assists for the second straight year. Kozak
is akin to the incarnation of a Xavi, Iniesta,
and Busquets love child and has the ability
of 360 degree vision to seek out teammates.
Best soccer IQ in WNY hands down.
