With the end of the fall sports season, many players throughout the shoreline conference were recognized for their hard work and dedication that season. Whether the sport is soccer, field hockey, or even cross country, the Old Saybrook Rams have athletes being awarded for their efforts this 2025 season.
The Old Saybrook Boys Soccer Team finished as the 3rd seed in the Shoreline Conference, earning themselves five recognitions for the players and their effort. Senior Captain Casey DeAngelo and junior Walter Bansley were awarded All-Shoreline First Team, while freshman Cesare Girardi was the first freshman in over 10 years to be awarded as All-Shoreline First team. Girardi said, “I worked very hard throughout my career and I am very proud of myself to have been a part of the varsity team this year. I am very honored to have won First Team All-Shoreline as a freshman, but even more grateful to showcase my talents and determination.” Junior Wyatt Parker was All-Shoreline Second Team, and senior Captain Ethan Terribile received Honorable Mention Team.
The Girls Soccer team finished as the third seed in the Shoreline Conference, with three players earning an All-Conference team award. Junior Annalise Sarette was awarded First Team All-Shoreline, making it the second year in a row she was recognized. Sarette states, “To be named First Team All-Shoreline for the second consecutive year was an honor because I work very hard off the field to be successful, but I wouldn’t have gotten the award if it wasn’t for the other 10 people on the field who work endlessly.” Junior Grace Bollmann received Second Team All-Conference and Ari Fox got All-Shorline Honorable mention.water mpki
