Nott's Forest FC standout Zach DeVille took home the coveted Cal South Boys Player of the Year award recently. The St. Augustine HS freshman received the honor at Cal South's 2008 Nike Awards Banquet in Los Angeles. DeVille captains the Nott's Forest BU-15 Premier team under coach David Banks, who believes DeVille's dedication, discipline, leadership and manners make him a coach's dream. DeVille has played for Nott's Forest since he began playing competitive soccer in 2000.

DeVille also played for the Cal South '93 ODP team and the U.S. U-14 National Team. Last Thanksgiving, he traveled to Orlando with his ODP team for the Inter-Regional Showcase. He has jumped up a level to train with the '92 ODP team that will compete later this month in the Region IV ODP Championship in Phoenix. DeVille is a starting forward for the St. Augustine varsity. He is the first freshman in seven years to make Varsity. Coach Brendan Johnston enjoys DeVille's play because of this flexibility and speed.
