Connor Hennings and Adrianne Gomez were named the 2019-2020 Live Oak High Athletes of the Year, while Tyler Wilde and Megan Quadrini were named the Scholar Athletes of the Year. A two-sport standout, Hennings earned Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division First Team honors in football last fall, then earned a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Nevada-Reno in the spring.
