The late Dennis Barrett would be proud of this group of student-athletes.
The Coach Dennis Barrett Leadership Service Award, aptly titled in honor of the late Monsignor Farrell coach and educator, is given to the HS football player who best embodies “football ability, leadership, and community service”. There’s certainly no shortage of those traits among the 11 student-athletes who have been nominated this season.
Each of Staten Island’s 11 high schools with a football program has nominated one candidate from its senior class and the nominees will be judged on their body of work over the course of their high school careers. The Barrett Award winner, as well as the Al Fabbri, Sal Somma, and Andy Barberi Award winners, will be acknowledged during the Fabulous Football Sunday ceremony on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Curtis HS.
