In spite of the disruption to their senior years as a result of COVID-19 and the cancellation of the spring season, the seniors continued to motivate and inspire their teammates with leadership and positivity.
Each Senior Award recognizes two (2) nominated seniors who have met the award criteria and has been carefully chosen by the EMGLCA Senior Award Selection Committee.
