Boys’ Volleyball Team Coach Shelby Frey honored Amor for taking his game to the next level.
“Gerrick Amor is our Boys’ Volleyball Student Athlete of the Month, and for good reason!” Coach Frey said. “He consistently goes above and beyond, showing up to everything, even when not asked.”
Amor stepped up at a recent match. “A kind and selfless teammate,” Coach Frey said, “he helps our program in numerous ways. This past Tuesday, Gerrick made his debut in a thrilling match against Coastal Christian, where his leadership and consistent serving helped lead his team to victory. His dedication and positive attitude make him a valuable asset to both the team and the program!”
Track and Field

Track & Field Team Coach Jennifer Frere’s girls’ team choice has made a big splash in a short time.
“Wendy Wilson is a sophomore middle-distance track and cross country runner at Morro Bay,” Coach Frere said. “She recently set a new meet record and stadium record for the 800 meters at the Central Coast Spring Classic at San Luis Obispo High School with a time of 2-minutes 18.58-seconds.”
Wilson is setting an example for all MBHS athletes. “Wendy is a role model for all athletes,” the Coach said. “She is always working to get stronger and faster and is a joy to coach. We are looking forward to seeing Wendy achieve her goals this season.”

He’s the sort of player that every baseball team needs. “Ben shows up to practice everyday with a smile,” Coach Zill said, “works hard, is coachable, and encourages his teammates to be their best selves.”
