Coaches, parents and teammates honored the senior members of A&M Consolidated's two-time regional qualifiers at the Tiger Volleyball Banquet on Monday night.

It was the first athletic banquet of the school year, during which Consol will switch from combined fall and spring banquets to events for individual sports.

The Lady Tigers made their first two trips to the Class 5A regional semifinals during the last two seasons, giving the underclassmen plenty of material to use in the scrapbooks they presented to the seniors.

"It was a tremendous season," coach Cydryce McMillian said. "It might not have ended the way we wanted, but the accomplishments we made were just fantastic."

Outside hitter Shelby Dickson was chosen as the team's Most Valuable Player in a vote by the players. The team honors included a couple of repeat selections, with Megan Caruso winning the Spirit Award and Kelsey Kinley named Defensive Player of the Year.

Karla Gilbert took the award for Offensive Player of the Year, while Brooke Davidson earned the Academic Award. Juniors Ashten Landry and Bailey Gillum shared the title of Most Improved.

Brittany Torres received the Trainer of the Year Award.

Junior varsity winners included Mandy Nelson (Sportsmanship), Kailey LaBove (Most Improved), Allie McCrady and Charis Brantley (Defense), and Shellie Hudspeth (Offense). Freshman awards went to Katelyn Acker (Defense), Hayley Cmajdalka (Offense), Tyra McCloud and Kaycey Kerr (Most Improved), and Jessi Ball (Sportsmanship).
