JFK’S SANTOS NAMED ISA SOFTBALL MVP

JFK’s Santos takes MVP, six Cougars make first team

John F. Kennedy Islanders catcher Tommie-Lyn Santos was selected as the league MVP for the 2024 ISA Girls Softball League season to lead the All-Island list.

Head coach Olivia Iriarte shares her appreciation to Santos, “I couldn’t be prouder of Tommie. Her exceptional performance as a catcher has earned her the well-deserved title of league MVP. She sets the bar high for all softball players in the league, pushing them to bring their best game. Tommie’s skills and dedication are unmatched, and she continues to inspire her teammates and opponents alike. Congratulations to her on this outstanding achievement,” said Iriarte.

Coach Marissa Maratita-Mantanane of the Cougars also shed light on Santos. “She’s the spear that led JFK to our [Academy] only loss this season. She’s a standout and I knew she was going to be a star,” said Maratita-Mantanane.

Coaches for the Tiyan Titans and Sanchez Sharks were not present for the All-Island meeting to nominate their girls. Although a nomination for both the teams players were brought up mid-way into the voting, none of the girls were selected due to no shows on the coaches part.

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins made it to the NCAA Women’s Final Four, before losing to eventual champions UConn.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
