The Eastern Pennsylvania Conference recently announced its boys soccer all-stars.
Central’s Maksym Komperda, a senior forward, took home MVP honors for the Vikings this season.
Northampton’s Jackson Vajda was named to the first team as just a junior and a midfielder, and his teammate, junior Delali Tsome, made it as a forward. Sebastian Mello was a midfielder named to the third team.
Vajda was also named to the 2022 USC All Region II East boys team this year as a midfielder. Vajda was also named to the 2022 boys Pennsylvania Soccer Coaches All-State Team as a midfielder. He was one of just four players from District 11 to receive that honor. The others were Komperda, Nazareth’s Sam Roberts and Lehighton’s Mason Marchessault.
