Syracuse, N.Y. — The high school sports calendar ended with a bang, with a picture-perfect Championship Saturday and a sign that normalcy will return in the fall.
Before we turn the page to next season, we’re celebrating the best from the 2020-21 season with the fourth edition of the All-Central New York High School Sports Awards.
The EPSYs-inspirted virtual event — presented by Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists and syracuse.com | The Post-Standard — will be released at 10 a.m. June 24 on syracuse.com and www.allcnysports.com.
Top male and female athletes will be honored in the event hosted by syracuse.com sports personality Brent Axe.
New awards honoring the best in bowling and gymnastics will be handed out, as will a new special “Unsung Hero” award for the athlete who went above and beyond the typical scope of a scholastic athlete during a trying year.
The video will include highlights from the season, and the top athletes in each sport will be announced.
Other awards presented include:
- Team of the Year
- Coach of the Year
- Play of the Year
- Sportsmanship Award
