Nalepa one of the elite
Brighton tennis star is four-time Player of the Year!
|
Brighton senior Jenny Nalepa is in a distinct class.
Repeating as this year's All-County Tennis Player of the Year, she is the first four-time Player of the Year in any sport in a decade.
Brighton's Drew Henson, who graduated in 1998, was a four-time Player of the Year in baseball.
"Wow," Nalepa said. "That is a unique honor. It shows my hard work through tennis to have earned it."
She also is the first Livingston County girl to earn a Division 1 college tennis scholarship.
Nalepa, who has played No. 1 singles since she was a freshman, won four straight regional titles and two consecutive Kensington Valley Conference titles after finishing as runner-up as a freshman and sophomore.

Etter repeats as county's best
'Miss Everything' paces 'Dogs to KVC, regional championships!
|
In many ways, Samantha Etter's career at Brighton mirrored the track and field program of which she was an integral part.
From promising freshman to senior superstar, Etter improved each year, taking the team along with her.
This year, while Etter's performance on the track was one of which to be proud, equally impressive was her ability to inspire her teammates.
She was the Kensington Valley Conference runner-up in the 100 meters and finished third at the regional meet in the same event. She also finished third in the 300 hurdles at both the KVC and regional meets.
Additionally, Etter was a key component of a Bulldogs 400 relay team that broke the Brighton school record and won the both KVC and regional titles. She was also a member of the 1,600 relay team that broke the school record, won a regional title and finished eighth at the state meet.

Giegler steps into spotlight
Brighton forward earns All-County Player of the Year honors!
|
For two years, Jenny Giegler lurked in the shadows of Bri Avedisian, one of the most productive players in Brighton soccer history.
There were flashes, certainly, of Giegler's speed and skill. In fact, she was the Bulldogs' second-leading scorer in 2007 with 14 goals and six assists.
Yet, even with those numbers, Giegler wasn't the top 'Dog.
So, like most underclassmen, she was forced to bide her time and take advantage of the opportunities she did get.
"In Brighton, there's so many good players that come through," Brighton coach Deepak Shivraman said. "If players are patient, work hard and wait, it'll come to them."
