Draft Day

Draft day. What are you talking about? There's no draft.

Talent, the sum of skill, athleticism, size, decision-making, experience, motivation, and resilience is the number one determinant of long-term program success.

Connecting with youngsters is where that starts. 


The Crovo sisters (Stephanie - left and Victoria with Liz Sheerin) left MVB legacies. Stephanie played on the 2012 title team and Victoria became an All-State player playing 'all-around'. 

Coach Scott Celli and MVB players 'recruit' student-athletes from the community and the middle school. Excellent programs seek "new blood" to refresh their talent pipeline. 

MVB 24 saw three freshman 'break through' and earn varsity time - Elise Marchais, Ella Friedlaender, and Sadie Smith. 

You don't have to make varsity as a freshman to have an exceptional MVB career. Kayla Wyland played on the freshman team (now JVb) and ascended to three years of varsity play, three sectional titles, and a State Championship. 

Lagniappe. What is the most important part of the body for the athlete? It's those six inches between your ears.
