EDWARDSVILLE - Junior blocker Avery Simaytis was a key player for Metro East Lutheran High's girls' volleyball squad this season. Avery's specialty is blocking. She is a BJ's Printables Female Athlete Of Month for the Knights. Her goals for herself and the Knights this season were very much straightforward. "My personal goals were to be strong at blocking," Simaytis said. "I think I did a fine job last year, but I thought I could improve this season." Simaytis believes that the defensive part of the Knights' game was very comparable to other teams in the region and state. Simaytis viewed her main role with the team this season as a now-older player who provided guidance and leadership to her teammates and younger players. "My role on the team, last year, I was one of the youngest," Simaytis said, "and now, I'm one of the oldest. So it's definitely different. But, I tried to be to be more of a leader." She said overall, volleyball is her favorite season as an athlete.

GRANITE CITY - Armando Hernandez scored the only goal for Granite City in the Warriors' 2-1 loss to Collinsville in the IHSA Class 3A regional semifinal on Oct. 22, 2024, at Gene Baker Field, Granite's home pitch, in a very good effort from both sides in a typical Granite City-Collinsville match where everyone left it on the field itself. For Hernandez, it was his 18th goal of the season, with one assist for 37 points, a successful campaign for him that ends his senior season, as the Warriors finished 11-10-1. In his post-match interview, a disappointed Hernandez thought he and his teammates did everything they could in the match. Hernandez is a Stillwater Senior Living Male Athlete Of The Month for the Warriors. "I felt like we did as much as we could," Hernandez said, "given the circumstances we've been in.
