We move her around in positions and again no complaints she just puts in work to help the team earn a win.
Varsity Coach's Award - Julia Stehno
When you go out and have a player that doesn't care if she gets the recognition that they think the deserve. They go out and play hard because they love their team and they want everyone to feel supported Even if it is out her comfort zone and I ask her to go out on the court try something she just does it.
JV Coach's Award - Selah Reihl
Any time the gym was open Selah was there working, taking every opportunity to learn and improve her game. Any game we played the other team's best players was in for a rough night because she asked to guard them and did so relentlessly. She will dive on the floor any ball and will give everything she's got for her team. Selah is an absolute joy to coach.
