SOPHIA TAM

Sophia all four years at the varsity level. At the completion of her senior season Sophia had scored over 1260 points including 399 this year and 452 in her junior year (she unfortunately missed 3 games this year due to injury). As a player Sophia has won MVP three out of the four years. Her accolades also include, All League First Team for the last three years, Honorable Mention Sophomore of the Year, Junior of the Year, Honorable Mention League MVP her junior year and has been recently been named League MVP (SCVAL -El Camino League). Along with aforementioned awards, Sophia's talents and contributions to our team are immeasurable. She is an accurate three-point shooter, free throw shooter and her repertoire includes the ability to drive to the basket, dish to the post, pull up for a jumper and has impressive post moves for someone of her stature. Even as a freshman she has been my most consistent go-to player and through her talents and level of commitment sets herself apart from many other players. As a point guard she has proven herself time and time again to be able to handle pressure and take control of the game when necessary by creating scoring opportunities for herself but is also very willing and capable of contributing to the success of her fellow teammates. Along with her offensive skills and her ability of handling a very complicated offense Sophia, is also an excellent defensive player. During the season we ran a 3-2, 2-3, Half-court trap, full court press and played man as well and she was very effective in all defenses causing many turnovers and shutting down the opposing teams best offensive player.
q Sophia will attend UCSD next year and hopes to walk-on to their basketball team.

Congratulations, Outstanding Athlete 2007
