Last week Suffolk County held one of their most prestigious events at the Melville Marriott. The event celebrated the best High School football players on Long Island. 

At the Suffolk County Chapter’s annual Scholar Athlete Awards Brunch, Bellport High School senior Michael Frankie was named to the National Football Foundation Golden Eleven team. 

This recognition marked Frankie as one of the county’s top 11 football scholar-athletes. Frankie, a varsity cornerback and wide receiver, earned the award for his impressive skills on the field and his 100 GPA. He also holds an All-State title for football, as well as Academic All-County and All-Division titles for basketball, and is a starting pitcher and All-County title holder for baseball.

Frankie is also a member of his school’s National and Math honor societies and Athletes Helping Others Club. Frankie will be playing Division 1 football at Wagner College in the fall.
