Congratulations to the senior student-athletes and retiring coaches honored tonight at the annual Senior Athletic Awards Night!
Alexis Buchanan and Evan Copley were honored with the distinguished Pat Izzo Memorial Award. The Pat Izzo Memorial Award is awarded to those who display sportsmanship, school spirit, character, desire, and leadership. It honors students who, although maybe not the star athlete, are always there with a smile, rooting on their team, motivating others and leading with integrity. The Award is in memory of the late Pat Izzo, a Mountaineer who left us too soon. Alexis and Evan’s names have been added to the list of awardees on the Pat Izzo Memorial Award plaque that hangs in the Izzo-Mariucci Building.
Isabella Pickett and Oskar Kangas were presented with the prestigious Izzo-Mariucci Scholarship Award.
