# 4459  USA Lacrosse National Awards

*+USA LacrosseThe Head Coaches of Section V considered players who had been nominated for All-American and All-Academic awards. The awards identify some of the best players from each area around the country. Each of the head coaches in the Section is allowed to vote on each of the awards. The selections from our area were then submitted to the USA Lacrosse for final approval.

The All-American awards are given to excellent lacrosse players from the area. The national program allows one award for each six teams in the area but this year there were six awards available. Fifteen players were nominated. Section V coaches require that players who are in leagues must make first team league honors in order to be considered.

For the All-Academic award, emphasis has been placed on the academic qualification of the nominees, but players were required to be assets for their teams. Where, in the past, nominees for this award were first considered for their skill on this field, again this year, although skill was considered important, nominees did not need to be "All-American" quality players. Andrew WhippleAcademically, nominees needed to have an average GPA of 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale). There were also six awards available in Section V and some players were nominated for both awards.

The Head Coaches also selected a USA Lacrosse Coach of the Year for NYS Section V. This year the coaches selected Pittsford Head Coach Andrew Whipple who led the Panthers to an undefeated regular season with a highly competitive Class B and Monroe County D-2 schedule.

Jamison BrownIn 2012, USA Lacrosse added an award named for the long-time Johns Hopkins lacrosse coach and Athletic Director, Bob Scott. The annual award is given to a senior of outstanding character, good academic standing and one who demonstrates good sportsmanship and safe play. The winner from Section V, this year, is Isaac Bailey, from Churchville-Chili High School.

Head Coach, Ryan Yunker says, "Isaac is the epitome of leading by example, always does the right thing, says the right thing, and is striving for excellence in every area of his life. He was voted team captain twice by his teammates, clearly demonstrating that he has his peers respect."

"Just as Isaac sets an example for our team with his never ending work ethic and motor, he has also been a phenomenal vocal motivator for our players. In a particularly hard practice this year Isaac took charge and made sure to push EVERYONE on the team to give their all and push through the pain to get better. It didn't matter if it was a freshman first year, or a fellow senior captain, Isaac was right behind them making sure they were running all out through the line and finishing every rep to the max. Isaac Bailey is truly one-of-one and I can't think of another kid more deserving of this award. "

For three seasons he has played every game from beginning to end at midfield, taking only one break per game. He is a three-time captain, works with the kids coming up in our youth lacrosse program, and plays three Varsity Sports. He is a pillar of the Spencerport Community. When he plays defense, coaches isolate him to tire him out. He doesn't get tired. He just continues to work harder. There have been very few players that I have watched that can take over a game like he can. Defensively he is one of the best players on the field.
