The Salmon River girl's varsity basketball team was recognized for their scholastic achievements for the 2016-2017 winter season recently. The team received the Team Award as well as having four individuals recognized as scholar athletes.
Scholar-Athlete Award: At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams and individuals that excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes, teams, and schools work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success. To receive team recognition with a certificate, the team's average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00.
Only students with a 90 or above will receive pins, even if a student with a lower GPA was used in the calculation.
The following students had a 90+: Jill Benedict (10th), Dava Thompson (11th), Lauren Martin (11th) and Noreen Bautista (12th).
Very proud of these girls for having the balance between athletics and academics!
