CROSS COUNTRY |

BOYS SOCCER |
|
 Name: Wyatt KuneviciusSchool: Independence Grade: Junior Stats: Scored four goals and recorded two assists in two games Coach’s Quote: “After being sidelined for nearly eight games, the team’s leading scorer is back and has already struck for four goals in two games,” said Independence coach Ryan MacRaild. “Wyatt is not a prototypical soccer player. His size and strength, as well as uncanny ability to find the net, make him a great scoring threat any time the ball in near the box.” |
 Name: Frank MarcelliSchool: Madison Grade: Junior Stats: Marcelli recorded a key save against West Geauga Coach’s Quote: “Frank had a big impact on the defense last week when we played West Geauga at home. He had a huge save with an almost full bicycle kick right at the goal line after our goalie collided with another player,” said Madison coach Julio Gutierrez. “Frank has earned his starting spot on the varsity lineup in the past three games after playing JV the past three years.” |
 Name: Sam RoachSchool: Berkshire Grade: Sophomore Stats: Scored two goals to lead Berkshire to its first win of the season Coach’s Quote: “Extremely talented young striker,” said Berkshire coach Dallas Provost. “He has surpassed all of my expectations and has earned himself captain of the varsity soccer team. He is an outstanding leader and is the first guy to help pick up his team and lead them.” |
VOLLEYBALL |
 Name: Maddy BilinovicSchool: Independence Grade: Freshman Stats: Recorded 82 digs and 12 aces in five games Coach’s Quote: “Maddy has been playing solid defense for the past week,” said Independence coach Megan Osysko. “She led the team in digs and aces for the week. Although only a freshman, she brings much maturity and leadership onto the court. You can also find Maddy taking quite a few swings out of the back row and adding additional points with kills. She is a great complement to junior Maura Collins, and both feed off each other’s energy to rally the team together. I look forward to Maddy’s continued growth as a Lady Devil” |
 Name: Jenna PerrySchool: Brush Grade: Sophomore Stats: Perry recorded 36 digs, eight kills, three aces and a block in games against Riverside and Kirtland. The Arcs came back from a 2-0 deficit, and trailed 24-22 in game three, to defeat the Hornets. Coach’s Quote: “(Perry) continues to be a consistent asset for the Arcs this season, helping Brush come back from a 2-0 game deficit against Kirtland last week,” said Brush coach Kaitlin McCann. “As only a sophomore, Perry has proven to be a leader both on off the court with her extraordinary knowledge and passion for the game and will remain a huge asset to the program in the coming years.” |
