Spring Athletes Honoured

Kayla picked up the Roger Marino Cup for Senior Girls Rugby along with her second Major S for being the team’s playmaker, the athlete who brings her teammates up. Coach Eryn Hessian described the Grade 12 student as a sound leader whom the team could not have played without.

Earlier this year, Kayla shared the girls soccer MVP trophy with Mya Daigle. Wednesday evening, Mya received her second Major S as well for her key role on the girls rugby team. Coach Hessian described the Grade 12 student from Newport, Vt. as a “brilliant athlete with a gift for vision,” a threat on offence, feared on defence and a spot-on kicker.

The Don Ross Trophy for Senior Boys Rugby and a Major S went to first-year player Trevor Grasby, whom Coach Eric Grenier described as the “lynchpin of the team,” an awesome player who worked with great intensity.

A Major S award for lacrosse went to Tanner Tarbell of Akwesasne, Ont., described by Coach Luc Charest as “off the charts” and a quiet but efficient leader with remarkable skills. The final Major S awards were presented to Tennis Shield winners Simonetta Gaumond of St-Bruno, Que. and Gregory Lapointe of Granby, Que. Coach Christian Williams called Gregory a formidable fighter, while Simonetta was a classy leader who combined skill with finesse.
