The contributions that Jacob Stynsky and Adam Fransoo have made for the John Paul II Crusaders football team have been easy to see over the last couple of seasons.

Both players, who are graduating from the program, were rewarded for their efforts Wednesday night as they shared most valuable player honours at the team’s awards banquet.

Stynsky, who was the team’s starting running back for most of the season before being slowed down with ankle injury halfway through the campaign, also received the team’s top offensive player award and split the most dedicated player trophy with Andrew Pyle.

Fransoo, who split time on both offence and defence during the latter part of the season as injuries littered the Crusaders lineup, also won the top defensive lineman award.

Pyle was also a multiple winner Wednesday as he won the rookie of the year trophy, while Liam Navarro and Alex Washkowsky split the top offensive lineman award.

Other winners were Devin McAllister (defensive player of the year), Spencer Heidel (most improved player), Erik Littlepoplar (Crusader award) and Brady Holhoyi (Captain’s award).

The Junior Crusaders also received awards during the banquet.

Declan Wychopen received the top offensive player and Captain’s award, while Kian Heidel and Latral Roset-Foulston took home the top lineman and top defensive player awards respectively.
