Board recognizes multiple championship teams and coaches at annual summer meeting
Summary
Superintendent and board honored boys volleyball, boys lacrosse and girls softball for recent championships and awards, presenting championship sweatshirts and noting coaches named Shore Conference and state coaches of the year.
The board publicly recognized several athletic teams and coaches for championship seasons and individual honors during the meeting. Superintendent (reported in the meeting as "Doctor Latwicks") and athletic directors introduced the boys volleyball team (East/South champions, top-10 state ranking), the boys lacrosse team (first division title and program-record wins), and the girls softball team (first division title in program history). Coaches and student-athletes were invited to the front of the meeting and presented with championship sweatshirts purchased by the board. Coaches and staff described season highlights: Coach Rizzo said the volleyball program set school records and sustained a top-15 state finish; Coach Brazil (boys lacrosse) described three season goals that were met (division title, new win record and first home playoff win) and said staff and players built a program culture; Coach Palmeri said the softball team achieved school-first milestones and several season statistical records. Coaches noted several players will continue to play at the collegiate level. The board acknowledged the coaches' accomplishments, awarded team sweatshirts and encouraged continued development of school athletic programs. These recognitions were ceremonial; no board action beyond public recognition was required or taken.
