GIRLS SOCCER PLAYER OF THE YEAR
ALYSSA MANOOGIAN
Peabody, Jr., Midfield
Manoogian's season didn't end when her Peabody High team - the winningest in school history - fell in the state playoffs. She was soon on a plane to Boca Raton, Fla., gaining a berth in the Region 1 pool for the second time in three years from a competitive field of over 90 athletes. The next step up from Region is the national pool.
Her skills, particularly her ability to distribute the ball and a tremendous shot, have attracted a lot of attention. Manoogian also has a 3.6 GPA and ranks in the top 10 cent of her class.
Manoogian, an attacking midfielder, had 20 goals and 29 assists and will head into her senior season with the Tanners having scored over 100 career points.
"Being named Player of the Year is a great honor. Every year it's like 'Who's going to win it?'," Manoogian said. "I think we had great season with all the challenges we had. I think it showed the character of the team we've got."
