Celebrating National Coaches Day with our crew!

Today we recognize and thank all of our coaches for all they do for our students. A coach does much more than teach a sport! To all the coaches who teach, lead, motivate, challenge, and inspire—thank you. The impact you make goes far beyond the scoreboard. We are proud to have an incredible coaching staff!

Not sure any unsigned senior helped themselves more at the Border League than Josh Rivera, who showed his shot-making prowess, perimeter size, fluidity, & even signs of a new floater game.

Updated numbers for @nahumpierre8: 26 carries for 330 yards and this 71-yd TD reception (reception had been added into rushing by accident). Over 400 total yards! @StepinacSports @KDJmedia1

[Jordan Griffith @_JordanGriffith]

Preliminary report says @nahumpierre8 had over 390 yards rushing today, in addition to this incredible 71-yard screen for a touchdown. Must watch, this is about as electric as it gets! @StepinacSports @StepinacHS @KDJmedia1 @lohudsports

[Jordan Griffith @_JordanGriffith]

Got a chance to announce @StepinacSports vs @StAnthonysAth today. Phenomenal game in a 48-42 St. A’s win. Great game by both teams, but the RB battle between @XavierBala14 (4 TDs) and @nahumpierre8 (over 400 total yards) was as elite as it gets. https://t.co/TIwYCaGxvL

Many of us grew up with the Con Ed Scholar Athlete of the Week Award appearing in the newspaper. For 75 years, it's a distinction that stands out among any other for a local athlete.

Here's my look back on what the award means and the prominent stars who've won it. @ConEdison
