MIAA Field Hockey Division 2 State Sportsmanship Award
At the December 5, 2016 School Committee meeting Mr. James Quatromoni, Athletic Director, reported that each year, within each division of play, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) recognizes and honors teams from each sport with a State Sportsmanship Award.
The awards are presented to those teams who have demonstrated a sincere commitment to the highest ideals and objectives of sportsmanship during their season of play. Teams can be nominated for this award by coaches, athletic directors and principals.
Coach Quatromoni stated that in his opinion, this is as prestigious an award that can be bestowed upon a program and it was with tremendous pride that the Division 2 State Sportsmanship Champions in Field Hockey is the Hull Pirates Team. He went on to say that over the last few years, these girls (and this year – boys), have worked through adversity during the journeys of their seasons and have pushed through these challenges and truly participated with a joy for the game each and every contest. He added that no team has surpassed this group in demonstrating the quality of perseverance in preparing for and then competing in games.
Mr. Quatromoni introduced Stephanie Kanagie, the field hockey team’s head coach and the South Shore League Tobin Coach of the Year as voted by her peers. Coach Kanagie introduced the members of her team and congratulated them on their dedication, respect and commitment to the sport.
