KAEDEN CORRIE, RB, STURGEON HEIGHTS Last fall, Kaeden Corrie finished the regular season tied for the rushing lead in the WHSFL. What the stats line doesn’ t show is that he only played a total of five games during the regular season. On a team that only passed for 600 yards, Kaeden average just under 12-yards-per-carry. Week after week, teams stacked the box to defend the run and yet Corrie would still rumble for 200 yards. Serving as the backup running back on last year’ s U-18 team, Corrie has put in some serious work in the offseason and is bigger, stronger, and faster than he was last season and is now the starting tailback for U-18. Last season, he had four touchdown runs of 60 yards or more and routinely picks up 10 yards where other backs might be stopped at the line of scrimmage.
“ His rare blend of strength and speed make him a threat every time he touches the ball,” said Sturgeon Heights head coach Eric Vincent.“ This season Kaeden returns to an offense that has only graduated one starter. Look for Corrie to be the focal point of a run-first offense that has improved its pass game to help share the load.”

JOHN POTTER AAA DIVISION SHAE WEEKES, DB, ST. PAUL’ S Shae Weekes is a solid all-around athlete and as a result, is a gifted defensive back able to both cover and support against the run. He is able to make positive plays as a returner as well and has filled the role of placekicker and punter at times.
“ Shae is a hard working individual who is very concerned about giving his best effort at all times,” said Crusaders head coach Stacy Dainard.“ He is very open to hearing constructive criticism and then takes what he hears and tries to put it into action. He is a leader on our team through his actions. His effort on the field, in training and in the classroom is exemplary. He is a young man with many capabilities and much to offer the world.”

BRODY WILLIAMS, MLB, ST. PAUL’ S ERYK BUJALSKI, MLB, VINCENT MASSEY WINNIPEG A tie that was impossible to break, both of these players have been called,“ Studs,” by most coaches in Manitoba. Both are on U-18 Team Manitoba and both strike fear into the hearts of offences everywhere. Brody Williams, heading into Grade 12, is a hitting machine on defense for St. Paul’ s. At 5-foot-11, 210-pound, he runs a 4.68 40-yard dash. He’ s a three-year starter who is expected to be one of the best defensive players in the WHSFL. Bujalski, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound monster hitter, is in Grade 11 and he, too, is a three-year starter with the Trojans.“ Both these guys are impact players,” said WHSFL Commissioner Henkewich.“ They both should be mentioned.”
