Since the start of the school year, Saugerties has been recognizing student-athletes through the True Sawyer Blue Teammate of the Month program.
This recognition highlights students who go beyond wins and losses. Honorees show a selfless attitude, a strong work ethic, and a coachable mindset. They support teammates, lead by example, and put the team first.
Each month, coaches select students who reflect what it means to be True Sawyer Blue.
