Rocky Point Senior Named To Golden Eleven Football Team

Press release from the Rocky Point School District:

March 28, 2022

Rocky Point High School senior Cody Miller has been selected by the National Football Foundation and the College Hall of Fame, Suffolk County Chapter, as a member of the Golden Eleven football team. The coveted honor selects the top 11 high school scholar-athletes in Suffolk County football.

“This is great news for a great student,” said District Director of Health, Physical Education, Intramurals and Athletics Charles Delargy. “This honor is one of the most prestigious awards in the county that a high school football player can receive. We are proud of the efforts of Cody, his teammates and Coach Anthony DiLorenzo for this historic honor for the Rocky Point School District athletic program.”

Coach DiLorenzo echoed Cody’s outstanding character. “This honor couldn’t have happened to a nicer kid. He is one of the best leaders to come through the Rocky Point athletic program,” he said.
To be considered for this honor, Cody had to demonstrate a continued dedication to both academics and athletics – maintaining scholar-athlete status and attaining All-County honors. Selected students are also respected members of the school and local community. Only one student-athlete can be nominated from each school, and selections are made by a committee of coaches from each conference.

In late 2021, Cody was named the Defensive Most Valuable Player in the Suffolk County PAL High School All-Star football game.

Cody will be honored with his fellow Golden Eleven honorees in late April at a Scholar-Athlete brunch. Cody will head to East Tennessee State University in the fall, where he accepted a Division I athletic scholarship to play baseball.
