Two student athletes – Nick Anderson (Daniel Hand) and Colleen Rice (Jonathan Law) – are the recipients of the Southern Connecticut Conference's 2017 “Comeback Player of the Year” awards.  Both students suffered severe injuries, yet were able to overcome them to become outstanding role models in their respective schools.  A corporate sponsor of the Southern Connecticut Conference (SCC), Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists P.C. (COS) has offered a Comeback Player of the Year Scholarship for student-athletes who participated in an interscholastic sport during the 2016-2017 academic year and showed great leadership both on and off the field after their severe injury.
