An Impressive List of Fall Athletic Honors
It was quite a fall season for the Hornet Nation with teams and individual athletes garnering plenty of distinction. Leading the way, of course, was the varsity Football team, which made school history in repeating as New England Prep Football Champions. Coach Joe Linta's team also repeated as Fairchester Athletic Association Champions, while coming up just one game short of a repeat undefeated season. Luke Schoonmaker, AJ Repollet, David Spitz, and Billy Porto were named FAA All League. Spitz, Porto, Repollet, and Schoonmaker were also named to the Western New England All Star team as was James Sansone. Nick Bailey, Jordan Benoit, and Klyde Aubu earned Honorable Mention. Michael Johnson was awarded the "Sonny Coughlin" Award by the New Haven Football Officials Association, and Luke Schoonmaker was also named Walter Camp 1st Team All State. Schoonmaker has signed to attend and play at D1 powerhouse Michigan, while David Spitz has also signed for Harvard.
Despite being saddled with various injuries down the stretch, Girls Soccer reached the New England Tourment Championship Final. Senior goalkeeper Miranda Iannone, who will play at Cornell next year, was named to the CT All State Team and WWNEPSAA All Star squad. Top scorer Lexi Cornacchia was named to the Boston Globe All Scholastic Team. Cornacchia, Iannone, and May Cervone were named FAA All League, with Eve Brannin earning Honorable Mention.
