The moment was a huge surprise for Elle Sneddon. So much so, that the New Canaan junior, a setter on the Rams’ volleyball team, didn’t even hear her name announced.
What those around her realized, and what she would quickly learn, was that she had just received the Connecticut High School Coaches Association’s highest honor for a volleyball player.
Sneddon, who is called “Tom Brady” by her coaches for the amount of preparation she puts into her craft, was named the CHSCA Volleyball Player of the Year for 2019-20.
