High School honors fall varsity letter winners

Student-athletes recognized for athletic achievement, academics, dedication, leadership, and school spirit

On Nov. 12, Mt. Lebanon High School celebrated its fall 2025 varsity letter winners, recognizing the hard work, dedication and achievements of its student-athletes both on the field and in the classroom.

This season, 206 athletes across four boys’ teams and eight girls’ teams earned varsity letters. Thirteen seniors — three boys and 10 girls — reached a rare milestone by earning their fourth varsity letter, marking years of consistent excellence. Another 103 students received their first varsity letters, underscoring the district’s strong and growing pipeline of athletic talent.

Student-athletes are also recognized for their academic success through the Scholar-Athlete Awards and the Athletic Director’s Team Award. Scholar-Athlete Award recipients are posted on the district website. Academic honors are recognized as follows:

  • Mt. Lebanon Scholar-Athlete Award: 4.0 GPA
  • Blue Devil Scholar-Athlete Award: 3.5–3.99 GPA
  • Lebo Scholar-Athlete Award: 3.0–3.49 GPA

Fall sports GPAs are based on the first nine-week grading period. The academic honors achieved by the student-athletes are next to their names below.

The Athletic Director’s Team Award, presented to the team with the highest cumulative GPA, went to the girls tennis team for the third consecutive year. The team posted an impressive 3.77 GPA.

The evening concluded with the presentation of the Honor the Game Award, given to student-athletes who exemplify the highest standards of sportsmanship. The award reflects the ROOTS principles of positive play: respect for Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates and Self. Each team nominated one player who best embodied these values throughout the season. This year’s nominees were:

  • Boys Cross Country: Evan Yurasko
  • Girls Cross Country: Jase Engle
  • Field Hockey: Mollie Gill
  • Football: Kris Kambitsis
  • Boys Golf: Coltyn Whalen
  • Girls Golf: Tess Kanche
  • Girls Slow-Pitch Softball: Sophia Pietragallo
  • Boys Soccer: Eli Kypriotis
  • Girls Soccer: Anna Bagnato
  • Girls Tennis: Jackie Tang
  • Girls Volleyball: Margaret Devlin

One male and one female athlete are selected from all programs for the overall Honor the Game Award. Their names are added to a perpetual plaque displayed in the Hall of Champions. This year’s winners are Kris Kambitsis (football) and Mollie Gill (field hockey).

Congratulations to all the student-athletes — and a heartfelt thank-you to the coaches whose leadership, encouragement and commitment help make each season meaningful and memorable.
