Three student-athletes from William Floyd High School have been named among the top 100 football players for the upcoming fall season. Seniors Geo Alvarez, Derek Amato, and Aaron Fisher are recognized for their outstanding performances and are expected to make significant contributions in their final high school season.
Geo Alvarez, a senior wide receiver, caught 22 passes for 560 yards and scored 10 touchdowns during his junior year. "He is one of the fastest receivers in New York State," according to Head Coach Paul Longo.
Derek Amato, another senior who plays both offensive and defensive lineman positions, is noted for being a rare four-year starter for the Colonials. Coach Longo highlighted his exceptional skills as a run blocker and his improved performance on defense over the last season.
Aaron Fisher, also a senior offensive and defensive lineman, has been described as one of the best defensive linemen on Long Island. Fisher recorded 12 sacks last season and has been a four-year starter for the team.
The William Floyd Colonials will begin their regular season on Saturday, September 14 at home against Longwood in the annual Parkway Power Bowl. The Colonials currently lead the series with a record of 10-2.
