Receiving post-season honors for achievements in this past fall’s sport season were 32 student-athletes from Coventry High School.

The list included five All-State performers, four of which played on the volleyball team.

Dan Clarkin made Third Team All-State in cross country. The senior placed 17th at the state championship and was the 24th Rhode Islander to cross the finish line at the New England championship.

Leading the girls’ cross country team was captain Meghan Paquet. Named First Team All-Division, Paquet was undefeated in dual meets in September.

Three-sport star Alex Zannella captured First Team All-Division honors in football. Also a standout in hockey and baseball, he was recognized for his stellar play as a defensive back on the gridiron. Click here to view Zannella’s  YouTube interview.
