Blue Devil Discipline, Desire & Dedication Awards Presented

Principal Rochelle C. Brown presented the Blue Devil Discipline, Desire and Dedication Awards at Huntington High School’s 58th annual senior athletic awards ceremony on Thursday night in the auditorium.

The seven recipients who received the award “all played important roles on their teams,” master of ceremonies Michael Schwendemann told the crowd. “This award goes to those who didn’t get their names in the headlines, but without them, their teams wouldn’t have been successful.”

This year’s award recipients include: Sage Cicciari (Penn State University), Ryan DiVico Binghamton University), Jamyn Husselbeck (University at Buffalo), Mia Johnson (University of South Carolina – Columbia), Grace Oliva (Wake Forest University), Dana Saramago (LIU Post) and Luca Terrado (University of Massachusetts – Boston).

“It’s not only what happens on game day, but the interactions with coaches and teammates and practices and away from the field,” Mr. Schwendemann told the crowd. “All seven of these seniors contributed in their own special way. Maybe they thought no one was watching or no one cared. But we did see them and we admire everything they did to make our teams successful. Brown presented each of the teenagers with a handsome personalized plaque created just for the Blue Devils.
