Football Team wins Sportsmanship Award! Congratulations go out to Ray Gionta, his staff and his players for being selected to receive the sportsmanship award for the Central League this past season. I believe this is the 4th time they have won this honor since Ray has been our coach.

From my perspective, this would have to be their finest achievement in regards to sportsmanship. To start the season 0-5 with key injuries and allow a number of talented sophomores to get their feet wet at the varsity level, then finish 6-6 speaks volumes about the job done by our entire staff. At no point were kids allowed to give up or make excuses for their play. Yet they persevered and enjoyed success at the end of the season. This is a direct result in the coaches readjusting the way they handled their team this year. They did what good coaches do: adapt their teaching techniques and strategies to meet the needs of the current team.
