Pierson High School Junior Among LI's Field Hockey Players to Watch

Anna Sherwood, a junior at Pierson High School was recently named as one of Long Island’s Field Hockey Players to Watch by Newsday.

“It was awesome to see that I was named along with 25 other players across Long Island,” Sherwood, who was pleasantly surprised by the honor, said. “I wouldn’t have received this honor without the support of all of my teammates.”

Eric Bramoff, athletic director, said he was pleased to see Sherwood’s name among some of the best players across Long Island.

“It couldn’t have happened to a better girl and dedicated student athlete,” he said, noting her above 90 percent GPA.

Sherwood, who has been playing field hockey since the second grade, said she was inspired to take up the sport by her mother, who also played in high school.

In addition to playing on the Pierson High School varsity field hockey team, she also plays for East End Field Hockey and on the varsity basketball team.

Sherwood aspires to play field hockey on the college level.

Congratulations Anna!
