In its 39th year of honoring the nation’s most elite high school athletes, Gatorade named rising Senior Tessa Knapp as the 2023-24 Gatorade Ohio Girls Soccer Player of the Year. She is also the first Gatorade Ohio Girls Soccer Player of the Year to be chosen from Bay High School. The award, which celebrates the nation’s top high school athletes for excellence on the field, in the classroom and in the community, distinguishes Tessa as Ohio’s best high school girls soccer player.
In June, Tessa was also named Top Female Athlete of the Year by Cleveland.com during the news organization’s annual High School Standouts Awards. This two-time All-American soccer player was honored for being a soccer standout, for her outstanding academic record, for inspiring others on and off the field, for embodying the spirit of a team player, and for her leadership and humility.
Congratulations, Tessa, on these recent accomplishments!
