BAA/GAA Athletic Awards Banquet

The Annual BAA/GAA Athletic Awards Banquet sponsored by The Garden City Men’s Association took place on June 5th at the Westbury Manor. The night honored those special scholar athletes who perform at the highest levels in their sport; not just at Garden City, but across Nassau County, Long Island, NY State and at the National level.

Athletic Director Dawn Cerrone, TMA President Jimmy Connolly, BAA Advisor Dave Izzo and GAA Advisor Brian McDonald all made sure to not only congratulate the performances of the student athletes being honored but also all of the players in our programs, the coaches and assistant coaches, the administration and support staffs, and especially the parents in the community.

Congratulations to all winners and graduating senior scholar athletes!
