Four Sachem Student-Athletes Earn Dellecave Awards

Four students from Sachem were honored with Dellecave Awards at the end of the 2023 school year.

Connor Volz and Kaitlyn Biase from Sachem North and Kyle Smith and Isabella Dembinski from Sachem East were recognized at the 23rd Annual Butch Dellecave Awards held at Villa Lombardi’s in Holbrook.

Named in memory of Gaetano “Butch” Dellecave, a local educator, official, and coach, the award is the product of a highly successful 23-year partnership between local school districts in Suffolk County and the award organizers: the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc., the Butch Dellecave Foundation, and Newsday.

Athletic Directors from all 66 Suffolk County school districts were asked to nominate one male and one female from their high school senior class. Nominees must be students who are not only at the top of their athletic game, but also score high in classroom performance and in their commitment to local community service.
