To Honor
Scholarship Recipients
For Immediate Release – Monday, April 25, 2011
The Alabama Baseball Coaches Association will honor its
four 2010-2011 scholarship recipients Sunday, May 1, during a pre-game ceremony
prior to the Montgomery Biscuits and Jacksonville Suns Southern League game at
Riverwalk Stadium. The game is scheduled to start at 2:05 p.m.
Barry Dean, ALABCA Executive Director, and the ALABCA
Scholarship Committee members will be on hand to honor three scholarship
recipients: T.J. Lindsey of Russellville High School, Luke Mould of Athens High
Schools and Evan Sims of Fayette County High School. Each will receive a $1,500
scholarship from the ALABCA. The fourth scholarship recipient will be Clay
Holmes of Slocomb High School, who will receive the prestigious “Joe Mason
Scholarship,” which distinguishes him as the ALABCA Student-Athlete
of-the-year. That scholarship is $2,000.
The Biscuits and Montgomery Chamber of Commerce are
co-sponsors of the event. The recipients and their families will enjoy the game
from the Chamber of Commerce’s Riverwalk Stadium Suite as their special guests.
The scholarships are funded by the support of Troy
University and the proceeds raised at the ALABCA’s All-Star Weekend held each
late June at Troy University, which showcases the state’s high school talent in
a series of drills, seminars and games. The four scholarship recipients will
also be honored on June 23 at the ALABCA All-Star Weekend Banquet at Troy
University, a banquet attended by 160 prep players from across the state.
