And the Winners go to...

Awards+Banquet 2010  |  The votes have been counted and verified, and finally the day has come to announce the results. The results were very close in all four categories. In the Best Player of the Year category, the contest was between the two Baumann brothers, Alex and Willie. Both garnered the same amount of votes. After their season long results were scrutinized closely, we awarded the biggest prize to Alexander.

In the Most Improved category, Keith Ishioka and Mark Lintott both had a good chance of taking home this award. In the end, the junior who showed the most consistent improvement throughout the season is Ryan Sandrin. Willis Lee was the undisputed winner in this Best Effort category. Time and time again, he gave his all even in the matches where the outcome was not in his favour. Alex Baumann came up a little short in the votes and finished second. We re-introduced a fourth catergory, Sportsmanship, onto this year's awards lineup. The votes resulted in a tie across all four nominees. We broke the tie and awarded this to Ray Wang.
