Fall Signing Day 2025 Celebrates Scarsdale Athletes

Tessa Franco, Lacrosse - SUNY Cortland On Wednesday, November 12, Scarsdale High School’s Learning Commons was packed with proud parents, family, and friends as the school honored 10 student-athletes at Fall Signing Day 2025. These seniors have committed to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level next fall. Athletic Director Cindy Parrott, with Assistant Athletic Director Jeff Weigel, welcomed the crowd and kicked off the celebration.

Before honoring the seniors, Parrott recognized underclassmen who have excelled this fall. Sophomore, Ava Turner won Section 1 in diving and will compete at the state championships on November 21–22. Sophie Rais, Sunny Kang, Ying Fang, and Alex Hormey were celebrated for winning the 400 freestyle relay, and Adrianna Pettinelli was recognized for winning the Section 1 Cross Country championships. Parrott also highlighted the Boys Volleyball team, which will compete in the Section 1 championships on November 13 and automatically advance to states later this month.

Parrott noted that “just under 7% of all high school athletes take their talents to compete at the college level” and praised the seniors for reaching this milestone. “Your hard work and dedication have paid off,” she said. “This commitment marks the beginning of a new chapter, go make Raider Nation proud!” She added that all athletes, whether committing to Division I, II, or III programs, deserve recognition for their achievements.Sophie Lamberg, Rowing - Boston University
