What happened to Reid Cytron, Ladue soccer - scored both goals in MICDS championship game with an incredible shot in overtime to win in sudden death? I thought he was among the nominees based on the Patch e-mail a day or two ago.

Robert, that was a suggested list and it has to be paired down to four. I didn't hear from his coach but I did from Ladue's football coach Mike Tarpey who nominated Shawn Whitley. It is a long season and Reid could be in the running any of those weeks.
