Pickerington High School Central boys soccer players Tony Grozdanovski and Avery Patton will play college soccer at Tiffin and Shawnee State universities, respectively.

Grozdanovski, a forward and four-year letterwinner, was the Tigers’ leading scorer in 2009 and 2010 but missed all but four games of the 2011 season with ACL, MCL and meniscus tears. He was a two-time honorable mention all-OCC-Ohio Division selection.

Patton, a midfielder and second-team all-league selection last year, started playing soccer as a freshman.

He and Grozdanovski were among seven seniors on last year’s team, which finished 10-7 overall and 5-2 in the OCC-Ohio, tied for second with Pickerington North.
