IT'S AN HONOR TO BE NOMINATED

The Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc. in conjunction with Newsday, nominated Hauppauge High School Seniors Keri McCarthy and Francisco Bisono for the 2015 Dellecave Award. This Award recognizes the top high school student-athletes, both male and female, in Suffolk County. In addition to the Dellecave Award winners, each Suffolk County High School student-athlete nominee was recognized and received a plaque at a special ceremony held earlier this month.

McCarthy was a standout performer for the soccer, winter track and lacrosse teams earning All-American honors in her junior and senior seasons. She will attend Stony Brook University on a lacrosse scholarship in the fall. Bisono excelled in volleyball, wrestling and lacrosse. He was the 170 pound Suffolk County Champion in wrestling and was named to the All-State Team after a third place finish at the New York State Wrestling Championships. He also was named one of the five finalists in Suffolk County for the Dellecave Award. Bisono will continue his wrestling career next year at Penn State University.
