Sayville High School Student-Athletes Selected for Suffolk County Teams

Three Sayville High School student-athletes have been recognized among Suffolk County's top flag football players and scholars, earning prestigious postseason honors that reflect their excellence both on the field and in the classroom.

Senior Ella Trama was selected to the 2026 Suffolk County Golden Seven Flag Football Team, one of the highest individual honors awarded in the sport. Chosen from a pool of 38 Suffolk County Scholar Athletes, the Golden Seven Team recognizes the county's most accomplished student-athletes for their athletic achievements, academic success, leadership, and character.

In addition, Aniela Marino and Alexa Yacono were named to the Suffolk County All-County Flag Football Team, recognizing their outstanding performances throughout the season and their contributions to the success of the Sayville program. The honors serve as a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and sportsmanship displayed by the student-athletes throughout their high school careers.

"We are incredibly proud of Ella, Aniela, and Alexa and the recognition they have earned through their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence," Dr. Ryan Cox, Director of Health, Physical Education, Athletics and Nurses, said. "Their accomplishments reflect not only their talent and hard work, but also the strong character and leadership they bring to their teams each day."

As flag football continues to grow across Long Island and New York State, Sayville's athletes have distinguished themselves among the region's best competitors while maintaining a strong commitment to academics and community involvement.

"These honors are a tremendous accomplishment and reflect the dedication our student-athletes bring to every aspect of their educational experience," Superintendent Dr. Marc Ferris said. "The recognition and success of Ella, Aniela, and Alexa speaks not only to their talent, but also to their commitment to hard work, leadership, and academic excellence."
