proud to award the cross country female MVP to Sydney [Applause] austman okay on to Vol I’m in speaking in place for Ryan Penner for the the JV boys team uh so I’ve got a little speech from him this

necessary to advance deep into tournaments and or crack the provincial top 10 list this team was highly competitive in a very strong year of Junior Varity boys teams this team showed much improvement this year and gained a lot of experience I wish all our players the best of luck in their future volleyball Pursuits our MVP this season was our most consistent player both offensively and defensively

season with absolutely zero drama I need to thank my assistant coaches for sticking by my side for another season Miss buaka for running the show behind the scenes and Mr gurnie for the constant

never had so many coaches approached me throughout a single season to tell me how strong of a player she was she’s a threat offensively her defense is solid and she can serve a team off the court I

Banner by two points losing 1513 in the fifth really close um things up here that’s right um just a really quick note that uh this year’s team was uh led by just an unrivaled group of grade 12 athletes uh so just special congratulations to our graduating players uh Maddie Carly Paige NAA and Megan uh this year’s uh MVP as usual was a difficult decision uh we fed it a very deep team with some of the best players in the province at each position but in the end our most valuable player uh was an athlete who led us statistically in both passing percentage and kills she was recognized at

basketball team this last year uh I was lucky enough to uh coach a really talented group of young men and uh we had many candidates for the award and it was not an easy decision uh with that being said uh our coaching staff came to a unanimous decision that our most deserving candidate was Max ojala um um in addition to his tenacity on defense and on the boards uh Max played a different position this year that he was not necessarily comfortable with and absolutely excelled in it um on top of his very impactful play on the court uh where he really excelled was his leadership and his ability to be a good leader um Max uh really exemplified you know all the values that we’re looking to promote in our program and uh I’m really excited to see where this young man’s career goes going

able to achieve uh his consistent work ethic coupled with his readily apparent joy for running promises many more good things to come he continues to put the pieces together with each new race and

and is sort of that person that embodies Royals Athletics and goes kind of out of way to promote and make it work um so to say this recipient is resilient and can overcome obstacles is definitely an understatement her determination to be part of Royals Athletics is undeniable having played most sports during her three years here when one door closed she opened another one battled sidelining injuries and never gave up she is such a team person that will she will shamelessly recruit others to join teams and then she’ll be their biggest cheerleader and supporter she was the first kid to the track even on our coldest and wetest meets and the last one to leave promo videos needed tents built on it if you needed help with anything she was the first to volunteer she could be seen painting faces and leading the cheer section all while competing herself we will truly miss her enthusiasm and determination is my great honor to present this to Hannah neimi [Applause] okay uh we are moving

dinard Ree foran and Easton wowski thanks Jance and now let’s go with our JV girls athlete of the Year thank you Scott um I just like to just raise the level of the perspective on this just a little bit right this athlete of the Year thing has been around a long time and it’s a very significant award and the and I just trying to bring some perspective to it uh 40 years ago I actually stood in this very cafeteria and was awarded the Varsity Boys athlete of the year that’s a long time that’s been going on every year since then 30 or six years ago I was able to stand here and and watch my daughter win one it’s the one I get to give out today the junior varsity award it’s a very significant award it’s been there a long time not everybody’s going to win it uh it’s it’s about the process when you look at the process of what we do here as an athletic program just think about it for a minute there’s a thousand people in this school a significant number of them will step up and actually go out for a team and make a team and hopefully they impress their coach and there’s somebody that would be noteworthy to be an athlete of the Year likely to be an athlete of the year you’re going to have to impress more than one coach and that’s not always the same you can be coach’s favorite in one sport but you know do your characteristics carry over to another sport to another sport to another sport even if you make a couple of teams you now have to step up that those coaches want to recognize you and you’re one of these people just stood up a second ago 25 30 40 and then somebody’s going to be recognized right it’s a process everyone along that continuity of that should feel very proud you’re part of a very successful program here with Lord suker and the Royals but someone is going to be recognized and hopefully it’s as memorable to you as it has been for me and and will continue to be so moving on to that one the junior varsity girls uh this person definitely checks all those boxes uh she was a member of the golf team with a coach that recognized her and felt she was a very deserving candidate was a member of the junior varsity girls basketball team also with a coach who would recognize her and feel her to be a deserving candidate she was a member of the field field lacrosse team and also the hockey goalie as well as playing out for the hockey team that takes a lot of stuff that that takes a lot of stuff it’s very commendable and I’d like to present the junior varsity athlete of the year to Delaney kitley building on what Mr Ganson was saying there our JV athlete JV boys athlete of the year is a mult sport athlete uh and he won multiple team MVPs and competed at all of his Sports at a very high level um these accomplishments for his MVPs speak for themselves uh but what excites me most about this individual though is his love of practicing his consistent desire to improve and his non-stop work ethic I’m looking forward to what he does the next two years on the court on the ice and in the field congratulations to our JB boys athlete of the Year Nolan deer [Applause] so I figured that the best way to uh talk about our uh varsity girls female athlete of the year was to paint a picture of this athlete through the words of her coaches so I had conversations with three of her coaches over the last couple of days and these are the kinds of things I heard a quality person talented and skilled genuine and selfless whatever the team needs underrated a deep desire to learn the kindest and most polite leadership and character quietly perseveres humble consistent and dependable and the best of the best now if you’re thinking but how good is she on the field on the court here’s a couple of things you should know no one in her position in the province of Manitoba got more grad All-Star votes in uh than she did in her position next year she’s continuing her volleyball career South of the Border where she’s accepted a scholarship to Dickinson State University CH Mrs gery said don’t cry sorry please join me in congratul Varsity Girls female athlete of the Year again in her coach’s words steady Ed Maddie [Applause] frer it’s okay he always does that all right on to our male athlete of the year for the varsity boys um this year’s male athlete of the Year competed in Cross Country hockey indoor and outdoor track his coaches describe him as hardworking dependable and talented his desire to win and get better helped the hockey team to be successful he came to the rank every day with positive attitude and willingness to work both on the track and in hockey he was willing to do whatever it took to help his team win he would run any leg of a relay that you asked him to he just wanted to see that group win at capek indoor he was nursing an injury so he asked what event do you need me to do today what will get the team the most points it wasn’t about personal Glory that day he was willing to do whatever we needed of him but make no mistake he likes to win it is my pleasure to present Parker carols for okay sorry uh no more crying all right thank you for coming this was I think this might have been a record it was just under an
