Who's got game? Each month, ESPN RISE finds out. Here are the athletes we recognized in November:

GINA LURRY
SOUTHVIEW -- GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL

Despite the overall struggles of the Saints, Lurry has emerged as an immense talent for Southview this season. Through the first six games, the senior captain had accumulated 170 kills, 110 digs and 23 service aces. With few veterans on the squad, the onus of team leader has fallen on Lurry, who has responded by becoming a model teammate and exhibiting positive leadership on the floor. Lock Haven, Sage and Bucknell have surfaced as the front-runners for Lurry's services next fall.

SAM MAYSE
MENTOR -- FOOTBALL

With his team in need of a spark, Mayse stepped up and ignited the offense. Filling in for injured starter Anthony Fracci on Sept. 20, Mayse was efficient in running the Mentor offense totaling 175 yards on 13-for-20 passing. The junior also connected with receiver Mike Johanek for a 5-yard score in the Cardinals 34-26 win over Moeller. Mayse's efforts were bolstered by a strong running attack led by Tom Worden (74 yards, two TDs) and Johanek, who hauled in eight passes for 126 yards.

MICHELLE CLARK
ELYRIA -- GIRLS' CROSS COUNTRY/SOCCER

A high school athlete finding success during two different seasons is quite an accomplishment. But excelling in two sports during the same season is just outright amazing. After attaining All-League status as a soccer player last fall, Clark added cross country to her plate this year. On the soccer field, the 5-foot-9 senior forward has tallied more than 30 goals over the past two seasons. Earlier this year, she placed 14th in helping the Elyria harriers finish third at the Bucyrus Elks Invitational.
