Frontier Regional junior outside hitter Cassidy Stankowski was named the Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year, it was announced Wednesday morning.

Stankowski, a three-time all-state selection, led the Red Hawks to their second straight state Division 3 title and has already reached 1,000 career kills. A five-year starter and three-time captain, Stankowski was an All-American as a sophomore.
