Montverde, Fla. (March 24, 2026) – Baseball player Andres Morillo has been named Montverde Academy's Student-Athlete of the Week following an impressive showing during the Eagles' Spring Break tournament in Orlando.

In that game, Morillo went 3-for-6 with a run scored, two doubles, and two runs batted in, helping power the Eagles to a thrilling extra-inning win.

Off the field, Morillo lists World History as his favorite class and says his favorite part about Montverde Academy is the diversity of the community.
