The Michigan High School Athletic Association has announced that it has selected eight student-athletes from Class B member schools to receive scholarships through its Scholar-Athlete Award program.
Farm Bureau Insurance is in its 25th year of sponsoring the award, and gives $1,000 college scholarships to 32 individuals who represent their member schools in at least one sport in which the Association sponsors a postseason tournament. The first 30 scholarships are awarded proportionately by school classification and number of student-athletes involved in those classes; also, there are two at-large honorees who can come from any classification.
Each of the scholarship recipients will be honored at halftime ceremonies of the Class C Boys Basketball Final game March 22 at the Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing.
Other Class B boys finalists for the Scholar-Athlete Award were: Tye Wittenbach of Belding and Ryan Spaulding of Freeland.
