East Islip High School senior Sebastian Regis has won the 64th annual Hansen Award, presented by Newsday to the most outstanding player in Suffolk County, and is the first Suffolk lineman in 38 years to achieve this prize. Regis was also honored with a unanimous selection for the 13th annual Rob Burnett Award, for Suffolk’s Defensive Player of the Year; as well as the Zellner Award, given to the best lineman in Suffolk County. Accompanied by coach Sal Ciampi Jr. and parents Milton and Melissa Regis, he was presented with the accolades at the Suffolk County Football Coaches Association dinner, held on Dec. 4 at the Hyatt in Hauppauge.

Regis, an exceptional defensive tackle and offensive lineman, captained East Islip to the Long Island Class III championship in November, earning seven tackles and a sack in that game against South Side. His impressive high school football career totals include 101 tackles, 11 sacks, four forced fumbles and five blocked extra points. A two-sport athlete, Regis is also the defending New York State wrestling champion at 285 pounds.
