Camberwell Dragons Under 18 Girls 2023-24 VJBL season award winners and coaches’ comments.

18.1 Girls
Most Valuable Player: Matilda Quartel
“Every week in VC is a tough battle and Tilly was up for the challenge. Scoring, rebounding and bringing her teammates into the game.” – Coach Adrian Lewis.

Joint Most Valuable Player: Lucy Rowe
“Lucy stepped up this season to show her true potential. Scoring when the team needed her and working hard at both ends of the court.” – Coach Adrian Lewis.

18.2 Girls
Most Valuable Player: Ivy Ryan
“Ivy has been the heart and soul of our U18.2s Girls team this season, rightfully earning the title of MVP. Her ability to dominate both ends of the court as our top scorer and strongest rebounder has been instrumental to our success. On offence, Ivy's scoring prowess and versatility have consistently propelled us forward.  Defensively, Ivy's presence under the boards as our strongest rebounder has been unmatched, securing possession and initiating fast breaks that kept our opponents on their toes.  Her tenacity and commitment to securing rebounds have not only bolstered our defensive efforts but also provided crucial second-chance opportunities for our team. Ivy truly embodies the spirit of an MVP, not only for her individual achievements but also for her profound influence on our team's success and cohesion. Thanks for a great season, Ivy! – Coach Scott Bazley.

Coach’s Award: Leia Ong
“Leia stands out as a beacon of determination, unwavering effort and vocal leadership. Her relentless drive to excel is evident in every aspect of her game, both in training and during matches. Leia's commitment to training as hard as she plays has not only sharpened her skills but has also set a standard of excellence for her teammates. On the court, Leia is a force to be reckoned with. Her tenacity and competitive spirit are palpable, pushing her to strive for victory in every game. Congratulations, Leia!” – Coach Scott Bazley.

18.3 Girls
Most Valuable Player: Katie Brown
“Katie, first and foremost is a team player, taking on every role this season with enthusiasm and focus, always giving 100 per cent effort. Due to challenges this season fielding a full team, Katie has had to play every position from point guard to centre, including in the same game, always creating opportunities for herself and her teammates.” – Coach David Elliston

Best Defensive Player: Juliette Martino
“Jules’ pressure on the ball has been constant and intense every game, she never gives up, creating turnovers and mistakes from the opposition.” – Coach David Elliston.

18.4 Girls
Most Valuable Player: Hannah Tran
“Hannah Tran was our most valuable and most consistent player throughout the season. Hannah never had a bad game and could always be counted on to compete to the very end, whether that be in defence, rebounding or scoring. She was often undersized and had to play many different positions and roles, but never gave up and contributed to the team at both ends of the floor in every game.” – Coach Mark Newman.

Most Versatile Player: Zoe Jackel
“Zoe Jackel was our most versatile player this season. Due to our team’s horrible run of injuries, Zoe was required to play all positions from one through five often being undersized and most of the time away from her primary position. Her efforts and contributions were greatly appreciated. She embraced each assignment cheerfully and did whatever was best for the team, performing well all season.” – Coach Mark Newman.
