Player of the Year: Marivick Valdevilla
School: South Pasadena

Notable: The talented sophomore led the Tigers to a second-place finish in Rio Hondo League play and a trip to the CIF-Southern Section Division III quarterfinals. The team captain was undefeated in singles competition en route to earning her second consecutive Rio Hondo League singles title. Valdevilla reached the round of 16 at the CIF individual championships after reaching the semifinal round as a freshman.
