Senior soccer player Aiden King and senior volleyball player Grace Kantor were named November Players of the Month by the Jonathan Law Sports Association. 

The Player of the Month award is given each month to two student-athletes who are successful on and off the field.

“It feels really good to win this award,” King said. “Law has so many talented and hardworking student-athletes so to be the recipient of this award is very special to me.”

Kantor said that the award was a great way to end a memorable volleyball season. 

“I think the volleyball season went really well considering we lost a lot of our starting lineup,” Kantor said. “ We adjusted very quickly to the new lineup, and a lot of people stepped up this season.” 

Setting goals is a large part of improving as a player and being a successful player throughout the season. King said that the boys soccer team met almost all of its goals this season.

“Most goals were reached,” King said. “We won our division in the SCC and made the SCC Tournament for the first time in 30+ years. We made a very strong run in the state tournament. I’m just happy I was able to help my teammates out to the best of my ability. Making my teammates better is always my top goal.”

King credited his teammates for helping him throughout the season.

“I just made sure to work hard every day,” King said. “As a player who isn’t as good as most players skill-wise, I have to find other ways to make an impact on the field. I made sure to play to my strengths which allowed me to compete with the kids who have been playing soccer for a longer time.”
