The following Gorham High School varsity student-athletes were honored in June. All of these athletes are much deserving of their recognition. These athletes along with their teammates put in enormous amounts of time and energy to combine the rigors of sports with their academics. These remarkable young people also play because they love the game. Before we soak up what’s left of summer and think about the fall season, let’s hail these athletes that the Spring of ‘24 athletes had to offer.
