Class VI Player of the Year Award
While the Colorado Rapids handed out their team MVP award to Pablo Mastroeni who signed a new four year deal which will keep him a Colorado Rapids player to finish out his career, Class VI members voted to give their Player of the Year Award to Conor Casey.
Casey won the award with 42% of the vote with a tie between Nick LaBrocca and Pablo Mastroeni each getting 12% of the vote.
After the game, Casey came over to section 108 to receive the award - but was understandable not much in the mood to celebrate his personal victory while the team had just bombed out of the playoff picture to Rapids arch-rival Fake Salt Lake.
Conor is pictured here in front of the Rapids trophy cabinet holding the Class VI award. He is the second winner of the annual supporters award with Bouna Coundoul winning the fist such award.
Congratulations Conor - and here's hoping that 2009 sees you hitting the back of the net twice as often and leading us to MLS Cup under new coach Gary Smith.
