Two students-athletes from both Sachem East and Sachem North were honored with Dellecave Awards at a ceremony held last month at Villa Lombardi’s in Holbrook.
Named in memory of the legendary educator, official, and coach Gaetano “Butch” Dellecave, the award is the product of a highly successful 17-year partnership between local school districts in Suffolk County and the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, the Butch Dellecave Foundation, and Newsday.
This year’s winners from Sachem were Lauren Harris (East), Jonathan Lauer (North), Erin Maryzek (North) and Brendan Ryan (East).
Athletic Directors from all 66 Suffolk County school districts are asked to nominate one male and one female from their high school senior class. Nominees must be students who are not only at the top of their game, but also score high in classroom performance and in their commitment to local community service.
