MB Patch Whiz Kid: Matt Sena

Each week, Manhattan Beach Patch will recognize individual kids, teens, youth groups and sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. Send your nominations to Liz.Spear@patch.com. We want to hear about these amazing children and teens, and we will select one each week as the Manhattan Beach Patch Whiz Kid. 

We launch our new series with Mira Costa High School freshman Matt Sena.
