Smithtown HS Field Hockey Game Played In Teacher's Memory

SMITHTOWN, NY — The Smithtown High School East and Smithtown High School West field hockey teams raised $840 for The Diane Corey Scholarship Fund on Oct. 2, the school district announced.

Held at Smithtown High School West, the 23rd annual Diane Corey Scholarship Game was technically a scrimmage this year.

It was played in memory of Corey, an "amazing" three-sport athlete who enjoyed all sports during her career at Smithtown High School, according to the district.

"She was a true competitor, who loved the sport of field hockey," the district wrote.

Corey’s parents, Pat and Mike, along with her brother Brian, requested the establishment of a scholarship in her memory. The scholarship is annually awarded to seniors on the High School West and East field hockey teams based on their talents on the field, and contributions to the community and to their team.
