The 2024 first team lists fifteen players and includes the six All-Americans previously announced. "The first six athletes on the first team are easy" said Section Five Assistant Coordinator, Paul Wilson. "after that, it becomes more difficult as we have so many excellent players."
There were four classes for the sectional tournaments. McQuaid (A), Victor (B), and Aquinas (D) were top seeds and won their championships. In Class C, HFL (seeded second) won their game with top-Pal-Mac.
The Head Coaches of Section V considered players who had been nominated for All-American and All-Academic awards. The awards identify some of the best players from each area around the country. Each of the head coaches in the Section is allowed to vote on each of the awards. The selections from our area were then submitted to the USA Lacrosse for final approval.
Academically, nominees needed to have an average GPA of 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale). There were also six awards available in Section V and there were fifteen nominees. Some players were nominated for both awards and in the end five were selected.
In 2012, USA Lacrosse added an award named for the long-time Johns Hopkins lacrosse coach and Athletic Director, Bob Scott. The annual award is given to a senior of outstanding character, good academic standing and one who demonstrates good sportsmanship and safe play. The winner from Section V, this year, is Penfield senior Adam Schembri.

# 3517 USA Lacrosse All-Americans and All-Academics *+USA Lacrosse has approved our nominees for their awards.
The All-American awards are given to excellent lacrosse players from the area. The national program allows one award for each six teams in the area but this year there were six awards available. Twenty-two players were nominated. Section Five coaches require that players who are in leagues must make first team league honors in order to be considered. For the All-Academic award, an emphasis has been placed on the academic qualification of the nominees, but players were required to be assets for their teams. Where, in the past, nominees for this award were first considered for their skill on this field, this year, although skill was considered important, nominees did not need to be "All-American" quality players. The Head Coaches also selected a USA Lacrosse Coach of the Year for NYS Section V. This year the coaches selected John Schembri, who has been the Head Coach at Penfield since 2009. The Patriots were 12-7 this year and advanced to the Sectional Finals. They have been to the finals five times under Coach Schembri and have won twice.
His father, Head Coach, John Schembri says, "Adam has played with the top level of club and select team players in both Lacrosse and Football. Above is a list of those accomplishments, however, beyond accolades I could not be prouder of the way he conducts himself on the field, within the school and in our community.
