[Football] Senior Football Players Receive Varsity Letterman Jackets

Despite the ravages of COVID-19 taking away their senior season, elven Williamson senior football  players were awarded their Varsity Letterman jackets in a special presentation in chapel this past Monday morning.  The jackets are given to Williamson student-athletes who participated in a varsity sport all three of their Williamson years.

What was unique about this year's presentation was the fact that none of the eleven senior football players were able to actually compete for the school this past fall, as the school was forced to cancel its fall sports seasons due to COVID-19.  That, however, made no difference to Williamson athletic director Dale Plummer or the rest of the Williamson administration, as each of the three were given credit for their senior season.

"We know each of the eleven very well and we know their hearts and we know they would have participated if given the opportunity.  There was no way we were going to let COVID rob our guys of this very special honor," explained Plummer.

The eleven receiving their jackets were Sal Carmolingo, Chris Carney, Damian Deldeo, Damar Dill, Charles Harris, Gregg Kimmel, Tyler Lafferty,  Nate Lohr, Anthony Marascio, Giuseppe Pollino and Joe Spillman.  That senior class combined to go 13-3 over their two seasons, which is the second most successful two-year run in Williamson's football history.   

"We are extremely proud of, and thankful for, the efforts this group put forth to compete for and represent Williamson on the field and in the classroom.  Each is a first-class representative of Williamson and very deserving of this honor," closed Plummer
