Jonathan Law hosted the annual Senior Sports Awards banquet on May 17 at Great River Country Club.

The ceremony, which was hosted by Interim Athletic Director Mr. Ragaini, featured many awards including: the Ironman Award (four years of all varsity sports), the Lawman Award (12-season athletes), Male Athlete of the Senior Class, Female Athlete of the Senior Class, the Sportsmanship Award, and the Jonathan Law Booster Club scholarships.

Senior Paige Jolley was the recipient of the Female Athlete of the Senior Class Award.

“I was surprised because I decided not to play basketball my senior year so winning that award didn’t even cross my mind,” Jolley said.

Senior John Neider won the Male Athlete of the Senior Class Award.

“I was very excited to win the award,” Neider said. “It was a big honor and I was very happy that I was selected to win it.”

The Sportsmanship Award went to senior Macie Rascoll.

“I was filled with overwhelming joy and excitement after hearing my name to win such an amazing award,” Rascoll said. “It was so awesome to hear such nice things being said about me. It really meant a lot.”

Some of the biggest awards of the night were the $750 Jonathan Law Booster Slub scholarships which were won by Rishabh Nair, Liam Fedigan, Rascoll, Nicolina Salanto, and Demi Carrapico.

“It was a true honor to receive one of the five JLHS Booster Club scholarships,” Nair said. “It was a surreal moment, and I’m incredibly grateful to Coach Maxwell for writing my recommendation, as well as to the Booster Club for taking the time to read my essay and selecting me.”

The five scholarships were the most ever handed out by the Booster Club.

“I want to extend my gratitude to the Booster Club and all that they do to make scholarships possible,” Fedigan said. “I was thrilled when I heard my name announced as a recipient of this wonderful award. I am so deeply honored and appreciative of the Booster Clubs support on my behalf.”
