The Most Valuable Player Award is awarded to the athlete whose contribution to the team contributed most towards that team’s success during the season. Here is what the coaches had to say about the team members from your hometown.

Girls Varsity Tennis "B": Selecting our most valuable player this season was very easy. On a team, you rely on the most valuable player to consistently come up with a win. Clarissa Perez-Pecchioathlete went undefeated this season and she faced some very skilled opponents. She was incredibly sweet and humble and displayed excellent sportsmanship at all times. She was so encouraging of her teammates and always had a smile on her face. What I will remember most about her is that during our finals match, her neck was bothering her. She was choking back tears but insisted on finishing her match. She lost the 1st set narrowly after being down but came back to win the 2nd set and the super tie-break. She showed incredible strength and perseverance when her team was relying on her, you never let us down!!! Congratulations! You certainly earned this award!
