Estevan Big Dogs star Rhett Handley capped off a dominant season in the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League with a prestigious honour last week.
Handley was named most valuble player for the PGLL's junior division on Friday, when the league announced its all-star teams.
Although he was a premier threat and a top-five scorer in 2012, Handley took his game to a new level this season, leading the PGLL in scoring by a significant margin.
In 10 games, Handley racked up 72 points, including 25 goals and 47 assists.
That was enough to put him 14 points ahead of the next two scorers, teammate Dylan Smith and Logan McMurtry of the Regina Rifles, both of whom had 58.
Smith, meanwhile, led the league in goals with 37.
Both Big Dogs stars were named to the PGLL's first all-star team on Friday. Other players named to the team were McMurtry, Tristan Frei (Regina Rifles), Jack Oakanee (Saskatoon Smash), Konnor Siemens (Saskatoon Steelers) and goalie Louden Choptuik (Yorkton Bulldogs).
The second all-star team is comprised of Taylor Dobrescu (Moose Jaw Mustangs), Taylor Frei (Rifles), Cody Schwan (Smash), Brandan Murphy (Smash), Tyler Tilford (Prince Albert Predators) and goalie Ryan Wahobin (Saskatoon Smash).
Meanwhile, Kelsy Omland of the Estevan Impact was named to the senior division's first all-star team.
Omland finished eighth in PGLL scoring with eight goals and 15 points in five games.
Other players named to the team are Dallan Larson, the league's regular season MVP (Regina Heat), Kyle Bellegay (Heat), Landon Gryschuk (Heat), Ryan Potie (Saskatoon Brewers), Curtis Ptolemy (Brewers) and goalie Jim Magnaye (Heat).
