Scotia-Glenville School District honored four alumni into the Athletic Hall of Fame.
The following 2023 hall of famers were selected by the SG Athletic Hall of Fame Committee after an open nomination process: Anna Kulmatiski–Nordic skier, Joe Cremo–basketball player, Michael Mushaw–football and baseball player, and Silvana Giovannone–soccer player.
During halftime, at Friday’s Homecoming football game, the fans that packed the stands were treated to a presentation featuring this year’s inductees. Joe Cremo’s parents, Mike and Mary Cremo, joined the inductees on the field to represent their son who could not make the event due to playing professional basketball in Spain. The following day, on October 8, friends, family, athletic mentors, and the community joined the S-G administration in recognizing our standout SGHS alumni athletes at an induction ceremony.
“The accomplishments of these wonderful Scotia-Glenville alumni after graduation are as amazing as what they did while they were here. It is a testament of the school community on a whole. It was a great day to be a Tartan!” -Jamian Rockhill, SG Athletics Director
