Nine goals in five games has earned Gurmaan Jhag the Golden Boot Award.
The Grade 12 student helped the Aldergrove Totems to a seventh-place finish at the B.C. high school senior boys AA soccer championships last week (Nov. 18 to 20) at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.
The seventh-place finish was the best-ever in the school’s history.
The Totems had also won the program’s first-ever Fraser Valley title earlier in the month.
At provincials, the team did not lose a single game as they outscored their foes 16-3.
The Totems tied D.P. Todd and St. Thomas Aquinas, both by the score of 1-1, on the first day of the tournament.
On day two, they hammered Hugh Boyd 4-0. Aldergrove and St. Thomas Aquinas were then called to the field for a penalty kick shootout to determine which team would advance to the semifinals and which would play in the seventh/eighth place game.
The Totems lost 3-2.
Determined to finish the season on a winning note, the Totems hammered Hugh Boyd 8-0 with Jhag scoring six of the goals to win the Golden Boot Award.
