Shoreham-Wading River's Olivia Pesso is not stranger to winning and now she has topped off an incredible high school girls varsity soccer season with a slew of awards and honors.

Pesso is just one of three high school soccer players from Long Island to be named to the All Region team. She was also named the Class A County Player of the Year and the New York State sportsmanship award winner.

Pesso led the Wildcats to their second straight New York State championship game appearance after winning back to back Long Island titles. Pesso proved to be not only one of the best regular season performers, but stepped her game up in the playoffs.

During the Long Island Championship game her coach Gilmore said “I think this was one of the best games I’ve ever seen Olivia play. She was all over the place. She was calm and secure with the ball and really did everything we asked of her.”

What's incredible is Pesso still has another year of eligibility and she also excels at track for the Cats.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
