MANHASSET, NY — We all know student athletes who also bring their A-game to other parts of their lives.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

This submission comes from Kevin White who nominated St. Mary's High School Manhasset Girls Basketball Team of Long Island.

White is the team's coach and he told Patch that not only did the girls take the state Catholic school title, but that the players excel off the field, as well. The girls are all "excellent students," he says.
