Coaches’ Comments:

“Marissa Evans has been selected as Swanville’s Female Athlete of the Month for her performances throughout October on the volleyball court. Marissa is a senior and is a captain for a second year and has been a true leader on and off the court. She has highly contributed to our season with her passing, defense, and attacking abilities. Marissa has played the Middle Hitter position now for the Bulldogs for 4 years and is a great all-around player. Marissa’s positive attitude has been a spirit lifter for our team during practices and games. She always puts her team first and pushes herself and her teammates to do their best, and with that, she will be a strong asset to our team in playoffs. Marissa has been a lot of fun to coach this season and with her contributions, along with her teammates, I can only see more success. Congratulations, Marissa!” – Coach Kerie Thoma.

“The USA Football Player of the Month for October is Colten Kruzel.
