When I asked André Goguen if he thought he would be named offensive lineman of the year as a grade 11 student , he simply smiled and said ” It never crossed my mind , i simply play the game i love “.
Andre Goguen was one of many New Brunswick high school football players named all stars earlier this month , the grade 11 student at Ecole L’Odyssée has been in the 10 man league since he started high school in grade 9. Since then, André has become a great player on and off the field , being named one of the Olympiens’ captains for the season. He was named offensive lineman of the year in the 10 man division earlier this month.
“I owe alot to the guys that play beside me , we have a great Offensive line and everytime we step on the field, we work together, I also owe alot to my coaches, they thought me alot on and off the field” said André when i asked him how he felt being one of the leaders of his football team.
Here is how the All star teams shape up for the 12 and 10 man division’s looked for the 2011 season.
