Sports Wrap Up: Fall 2021
Celebrating Husky Athletes
Message from the Director of Athletics
Dear Harrison Community,
The Harrison Huskies were back in full gear starting in August for our Fall 2021 Athletic Season, living out the Athletic Core Values of Rigor, Development, Accountability and Communication. There is a lot to celebrate on and off the field and court. We had multiple athletes compete at the state level for their respective sports. Additionally, the incredible effort and dedication of every student athlete was rewarded with our school earning many personal and team post season awards. Most importantly, all of our teams earned a first quarter GPA of over 90%, resulting in Harrison High School receiving a School of Distinction designation from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. The Girls Soccer and Field Hockey teams earned the additional honor of each athlete having over a 90% quarter one GPA. This type of athletic and academic success is what sets us apart from our peers and is the foundation of our program. Please join me in congratulating and celebrating our Husky student athletes, coaches and teams for their incredible fortitude throughout the season.
Sincerely,
Christopher Galano

Modified Athletics at LMK Middle School
Harrison student athletes at the modified level were back in action during the Fall 2021 season after interscholastic modified athletics were cancelled last year due to COVID restrictions. Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer and Volleyball fielded two teams, in addition to one team for Football, Cheer and Cross Country. More than 200 7th and 8th grade student athletes had an opportunity to be part of a team and learn fundamentals of game play, rules, training, and basic skills. Student athletes also learned the importance of supporting teammates on and off the field.
