Blue Devil Fall Athletes Garner State Scholar Honors

Eleven fall season varsity athletic teams at Huntington High School have earned coveted New York State Public High School Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete Awards based on the grade point averages of respective team members.

Huntington’s football, girls’ swimming and diving, field hockey, girls’ cross country, boys’ cross country, boys’ golf, girls’ soccer, Unified bocce, girls’ tennis, boys’ volleyball and girls’ volleyball programs all captured state scholar athlete team awards.

A total of 150 individual Blue Devil athletes were recognized. “It’s wonderful to see so many of our Huntington teams and individuals recognized for their hard work in and out of the classroom,” Superintendent Beth McCoy said. “Congratulations to all of our scholar athletes.”

To receive team recognition, the team’s average GPA for 75 percent of the roster must be equal to or greater than 90.00. Higher athlete GPAs can be used offset lower ones. However, only students with a 90 or above receive scholar athlete pins, even if a student with a lower GPA was used in the calculation.

(Only high school student-athletes are eligible. Seventh and eighth graders participating on varsity teams are not included in the program.)
