Half Hollow Hills West celebrated four seniors in the Class of 2025 who were recognized as All-Americans this weekend.
The seniors have excelled at their sports and have been named in rare company as All Americans. Volleyball player Mary Wolcott, Soccer standout Ryan Levy, Joseph Filardi, and Anthony Raio both for their outstanding Lacrosse seasons were all honored.
The celebration took place during halftime of a recent Hills West Varsity Boys Basketball game. Hills West is having a stellar basketball season as well sitting at 8-3 overall and 6-1 in their division.
Wolcott has announced that she will be playing volleyball next year at the Ivy League level for Cornell University. Wolcott's career highlights are a mile long but most memorable will be her performance during the championship game. She had 22 assists, nine kills and an ace to lead her #1 ranked team over third ranked Harborfields in the Suffolk Class AA championship. Her younger sister, Morgan, had 13 kills, nine digs and two aces.
Ryan Levy holds the boys highest all-time career goals at 64, all-time career points at 172, most goals in a game at 5, and most goals in a season at 30. The five year varsity starer also played on the football team this season.
Joseph Filardi will be attending Syracuse University and was a standout in Lacrosse and on the football field. On the gridiron he was named the Hansen Award winner as the best football player in Suffolk County. He threw for 3,102 passing yards, 43 touchdowns to only 3 interceptions and added 1,204 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He is one of the top lacrosse recruits in the country as a four star prospect and ranked #28 overall in the 2025 class by Inside Lacrosse.
Anthony Raio will be heading to Chapel Hill to play Lacrosse for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Raio was a 1st team selection and chosen as the Suffolk Player of the Year after leading Long Island in both goals (75) and points (119).
Ryan was unable to attend, so his sister Jordyn, a Hills West alum and former All-American, accepted the plaque on his behalf. Congratulations to Joseph, Ryan, Anthony, and Mary for representing Half Hollow Hills with excellence.
