Why has this player been nominated?
"We are nominating Xander because he is the most selfless player. We know he would love to hop on offense occasionally and contribute to a few goals but he knows that he is most needed on defense a lot of the time. He protects our goalie fiercely. He always gives 110%. He never gives up, never complains, and always plays with such heart that he’s amazing to watch on the field. He’s a fantastic teammate and roots for the other players with such enthusiasm that he brings pure joy to the team. We are thankful for the hard work he puts in every week and the smile that always accompanies it."

Miss Henry because she is always nice to everyone. She teaches us what we need to learn and sometimes gets off task but always brings it back and keeps it fun.
