A six-goal offensive barrage in the third period helped the South-Central All Stars outlast the North-West All Stars, 7-5, at the Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League All Star game on Wednesday night at the Ashburn Ice House in a showcase of the top talent from around Northern Virginia. Woodbridge’s Seve Cordova was named the most valuable player for South-Central, scoring two of his squad’s six goals in the final period.
The South-Central All-Stars faced a 3-0 deficit after the first period and were down 4-1 at the end of the second. It was in that second period, however, that South-Central coach Jim Fullem saw the complexion of the game start to change.
“You could kind of see the momentum shift,” he said. “We just kept the pressure on them. I think that we surprised them a little bit. Once you start getting the puck to the net, they are going to start going in.”
All four of South-Central’s lines scored in the third, with Bishop O’Connell’s Nicholas Guerere, Battlefield/Brentsville’s Casey Dunn, Paul VI’s Adam Kosna and Forest Park’s Alex Clark all adding to Cordova’s two goals.
“You **** to keep giving cliches, but it was just absolute total team effort,” said Fullem, who coaches Forest Park. “Everybody chipped in. It was really nice to see. That’s what these things are all about.”
Langley’s Brett Hatfield was named the MVP of the North-West team, allowing only one goal in the second period with 14 saves.
The NVSHL playoffs begin on Friday, with No. 12 Broad Run taking on No. 5 Chantilly, No. 9 Briar Woods going against No. 8 Madison, No. 10 Westfield playing No. 7 Langley and No. 11 Paul VI taking on No. 6 Woodbridge. Top-ranked Stone Bridge, No. 2 Herndon, No. 3 Forest Park and No. 4 Bishop O’Connell all have byes in the first round.
