The NYSSWA All-State team, released this week, named Vallone, a senior defensive tackle, to the first-team defense. Vallone was one of just four Long Island standouts — and the lone representative of the CHSFL — selected to the 22-player first team. Senior center Austen Fletcher was named to the second team. Senior quarterback James Brady was placed on the fourth team.
It was just the latest honor for these decorated players.
The Rutgers-bound Vallone was named CHSFL Defensive Player of the Year and selected to Newsday's All-Long Island football team after a season in which he registered 71 tackles (16 for a loss) in 10 games.
Brady, who recently committed to Georgetown, was tabbed CHSFL Offensive Player of the Year and named to Newsday's All-Long Island team after completing 64 percent of his passes while throwing for nine touchdowns. He also rushed for eight scores in winning back-to-back titles.
Fletcher, who is still considering whether to play at Dartmouth or follow older brother Alex at Stanford, was a dominating force on the offensive line. He was also named to Newsday's All-Long Island team.
A fourth player, senior safety and return man J.B. Andreassi, was selected Newsday second-team All-Long Island. He is headed to Dartmouth.
