2018-2019 Football Player of the Year Angel Sanchez, Hendricken All-City Tom Comella, Hendricken Nic Comella, Hendricken Xavier Truss, Hendricken Israel Emmanuel, Hendricken Evan Rinaldi, Hendricken Jake Picard, Hendricken Will Tuttle, Hendricken Oluwaseyi Akinnusotu, Pilgrim Connor Fallon, Pilgrim Ethan Laramee, Pilgrim Demitri Ayres, Pilgrim Adam Ferrara, Pilgrim Ethan Asadorian, Pilgrim Robert Grzyb, Pilgrim Jaron Petrozzi, Pilgrim Michael Negri, Toll Gate Chris Souza, Toll Gate Anthony Shaw, Toll Gate Kenny Morel, Toll Gate Ethan Durand, Toll Gate Jake Lombardi, Toll Gate John Olink, Toll Gate Connor Tainsh, Toll Gate
Player of the Year: Angel Sanchez, Hendricken
After an impressive breakout campaign as a sophomore in 2017, Angel Sanchez followed it up with an even better 2018 for the Hawks and was a threat on each side of the ball. Whether at the receiver position, taking handoffs from out of the backfield or locking down the opposition's receivers as a cornerback, Sanchez was a Swiss Army knife that had to be accounted for at all times. He capped off his season by rushing and throwing for a touchdown in the state championship victory over La Salle back in November.
Mayor Joseph J. Solomon and the
Warwick City Council offer their
warmest congratulations to all of our athletes
