The Longwood Lions were in full roar this past week when they took home numerous awards at the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Brunch.
Both Giselle Harris and Delaney Israel were recognized as All-Long Island players.
Israel was named as one of the prestigious Golden Seven Award winners. The Golden Seven Award is only awarded to seven top scholar-athletes across the entire county.
Israel played three sports and shined in them all. She was a soccer, basketball and flag football standout. She earned All County honors in her senior year for soccer and was named the 2025 Suffolk Player of the Year. In basketball she earned a spot on the Academic All County team and in football she became a three time All County selection this season to go along with the 2025 Suffolk Player of the Year.
The Longwood social media sites said of them "These amazing young women have set the bar incredibly high with their dedication both on the field and in the classroom. Best of luck as you continue your academic and athletic journeys in college!"
To top off the festivities Longwood coach Aden Smith was also named Coach of the Year.
