Emily Hoffman was named the Senior Female Athlete of the Year at the CHHS
Sports Award ceremony this evening, and while her abilities on the court and
field were noted, it was words like these, from her two coaches.
From Coach Joe Streany (basketball): “She was a quiet killer on the court who
had amazing work ethic and dedication, but the strongest thing she brings to
the team is not only her love of the sport, but her undying love for her
teammates.”
From Kerri Tracy (softball): “When a player loves their team more than they
love themselves, anything is possible. So Emily, I hope you realize that this
award not only symbolizes the love and passion you played with for the past
four years, but it also recognizes the love and passion you had for everyone
who had the good fortune of playing alongside of you and calling you their
teammate."
Emily was also the Captain of both the girl's Basketball and softball teams.
Emily will be attending SUNY Cortland in the fall and will likely be playing in intramural and club teams. Emily's major will be Athletic Training.

At a time when you read about college students wanting a "safe place" to go to where their feelings won't be hurt, reading stories like this one give me renewed faith in this generations. Congratulations to you both!
