Albany, NY - The conference tournaments have come and gone, and the Panthers strike some recognition. The Panthers saw five of their own get all conference awards for the season they put together in their respective sports.
Kathryn Braun - Kathryn was named as an honorable mention for the YSCC this year in the inaugural ACPHS Women's volleyball season.

Her assists helped put her fourth in the conference in assists per set with 2.46. Being that it was the Panthers first women's volleyball season, and Braun only being a sophomore one thing is certain, she will be getting many more assists in the future.

Michael Dean - Michael was named as an honorable mention for the YSCC this year for Men's soccer. Dean has been a very versatile player for the Panthers, playing multiple positions in his time for the Panthers. This year he was a helpful force on the back line to help the Panthers success. He put up a goal on the season on his senior night back in October, but has been shutting opponents down on defense. Coach Adeseko said this about Dean on Senior night that led towards the nomination, "He doesn't complain, he doesn't get mad or angry, he just plays, plays hard, effective and efficient. His versatility on the field is unrivaled."
