FORMER Caroline Springs Secondary College student Will Hoskin-Elliott won the 2011 Victorian School Sports Award in Australian Rules Football, announced at the MCG on Wednesday.
Hoskin-Elliott was taken by new AFL franchise Greater Western Sydney at No.4 in the national draft last year, after starring for TAC Cup side the Western Jets.
“William has not only demonstrated great skill in his chosen sport, but also dedication, sportsmanship and a pursuit of excellence,” Member for Western Metropolitan Region Andrew Elsbury said.
“Hopefully the success acknowledged today will inspire others in the local community to see the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.
“As we all know, Victoria is the home of Australian sport and it is very pleasing to note that we have our own home-grown champion in the local community.”
Previous winners of Victorian School Sports Awards include Dale Thomas, Steve Hooker, Cameron White, Ellie Cole and Adrian Leijer.
