Garnets Football Players Celebrated as State Champs

Rye High School’s football team and coaches huddled with Mayor Josh Cohn, State Sen. Shelley Mayer and State Assemblyman Steve Otis (front row, far left) at a Board of Education meeting on Dec. 19 in recognition of their first state championship since 2008. The student-athletes received Rye Recognition of Excellence Awards from the school board and government proclamations from the mayor and senator. They’re also due a proclamation from Otis once it’s read on the State Assembly floor in Albany. The Garnets beat Maine-Endwell High School, a south-central New York football powerhouse, by a score of 28-7 in the Dec. 3 championship game.
