We honored four student-athletes during our Varsity Girls Basketball Senior Recognition Night: Mary Rose Cautivo, Izzy Chesnes, Edmee Lopez Crespo and Liz Young. Mary Rose plans to enlist in the Marine Corps and pursue her love of public service. She has filled her time here at Mount Morris participating in numerous prestigious extracurricular clubs including the National Honor Society. Izzy plans to attend FLCC for Child Care Education and is interested in being on the basketball and soccer teams while at college. One of her favorite athletic memories is making a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer last year during a home game. Edmee is currently working at the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation and plans to attend college to study Criminal Justice. She would like to thank her mom and dad for the endless support they have given her and for teaching her to never give up. She will miss the games and having practice with her team and would like to thank all the girls for allowing her to lead them and play alongside them. Liz plans to get her CNA and work for the State. Her greatest memories here at MMCSD are being able to play basketball with such great teammates. Congratulations, Seniors!!
