Thank goodness Gatorade saw fit to avoid litigation and name Mosqueda-Lewis as National Player of the Year!
I will bet Mater Dei had their team of lawyers ready to file an emergency Stay in order to keep any of the other candidates from actually claiming the player of the year honors over their girl.
Congratulations, young lady! You aew a great player with an even better legal team behind you.
