E.O. Smith, Stafford HS Scholar-Athletes Make Statewide Honor Roll

STAFFORD-WILLINGTON, CT — Student-athletes from Stafford and E.O. Smith high schools have been named Connecticut Association of Schools-Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference scholar-athletes.

They are:

• E.O. Smith — Dar Jankovic and Teagan Mabrysmith
• SHS — Raina Caro and Drew Ledbetter

The four will be among 350 statewide scholar-athletes honored Sunday at the 40th annual CAS-CIAC Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet.

The Scholar-Athlete Program annually recognizes two seniors from each member high school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage.

The event is the largest of the many honors programs CAS-CIAC hosts each year. The honorees are chosen by the member schools and are submitted to the CIAC.

For the 37th time in the event’s history, retired sports broadcaster Bob Picozzi will serve as master of ceremonies. Emeka Okafor, a member of the University of Connecticut's 2004 national championship squad and a 10-year pro in the NBA, will deliver the keynote address.

Evan St. Amand, a member of the Hall High School boys golf team, will be formally honored as the 2023 Michael H. Savage Spirit of Sport Award winner. CIAC profiled Evan in a recent video story.
