SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, November 1, 2024. – “I’m very grateful to receive this award. I just try to play my best and work as hard as I can, so I truly appreciate the recognition from those who voted for me,” said 6-foot-5 Spencer Olivier from the Plataneros de Corozal upon learning that he was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the 2024 Men’s Superior Volleyball League (LVSM) tournament of Puerto Rico.
