The Half Hollow Hills East High School wrestling program had plenty to celebrate recently, as four of its student-athletes were honored at the annual Suffolk County Wrestling Coaches Association All-County Dinner.
Santino Pascarella, Logan Pascarella, and Nicholas Sevilla were each recognized for their outstanding performances on the mat this past season, earning All-County honors for their efforts. Their success reflects not only individual talent, but also the hard work and dedication that has become a hallmark of the Hills East wrestling program.
Each of the three athletes played a key role in the team’s success, consistently competing at a high level against some of the top wrestlers in Suffolk County. Their recognition at the county-wide event highlights the respect they’ve earned from coaches and competitors alike.
In addition to the All-County honorees, senior Deen Khwaja was also recognized in a special way, receiving a scholarship from the SCWCA for his exceptional academic achievements. The award underscores Khwaja’s commitment to excellence beyond athletics, balancing the demands of the classroom with the rigors of competition.
The All-County Dinner serves as a celebration of the best in Suffolk County wrestling, bringing together athletes, coaches, and families to recognize a season of dedication and accomplishment. For Hills East, having four student-athletes honored is a proud moment for the program and the school community.
As the season comes to a close, these recognitions provide a fitting tribute to the athletes’ hard work and perseverance. Whether on the mat or in the classroom, the Hills East wrestlers continue to represent their school with pride, setting a strong example for the next generation of competitors.
