Sam Bellestri won the Tom Connell award for Golf. His name is forever in the books of the CHSL for winning this award.

The late Tom Connell was an outstanding prep mentor at River Rouge Our Lady of Lourdes High School. Golf being a gentleman’s game, fits Tom Connell, who was always a perfect gentleman. The league proudly presents the golf award to the scholar-athlete in his name.

My son is also a perfect gentleman formed for 18 years at home and 15 years at Everest.
