A caravan of players, former teammates and friends parade passed the homes of Stamford High School’s Class of 2020 senior softball players Emily Ferretti and Morgan Yacavone, led by their coach Melissa Giordano, Thursday.
With the Lady Black Knights season cancelled, due to school closings in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Giordano wanted to recognize her two seniors and their accomplishments.
Emotions and excitement ran high with both players crying with joy, receiving cards, a signed ball and a lot of virtual hugs, as the players and friends practiced responsible social distancing.
Stamford Police provided an escort, so that participants could safely travel from one player’s home to the other, and provided an occasional blast from the sirens.
