R11 COCA-COLA STAR SEARCH AWARD NOMINATION
Jared Petrenko from the Woodville-West Torrens Football Club has been named the Round Eleven Coca-Cola Star Search Award nominee.
At 18 years of age, and playing in just his sixth League game, Petrenko was instrumental in the Eagles’ last quarter fight back, to take the 10 point win over South Adelaide at Hickinbotham Oval on Sunday.
Petrenko’s strong presence through the backline earned him 16 possessions. Using his electrifying pace to nullify his opponent he was very good in the one-on-one contests and provided many of the rebounds from defence.
Making his League debut in Round 3 2007, Petrenko played just 3 League games before being picked up on the Adelaide Football Club Rookie List. He was a member of the SANFL Under 18 State team in 2007.
Petrenko was recruited from the Portland Football Club before progressing through the Woodville-West Torrens underage structure and breaking into the League side. He is the Eagles’ first Coca-Cola Star Search nominee for season 2008.
