GHS senior wins athletic scholarship
GILOY – Scott Martin, Gilroy High School senior, was given a $500 Scholar/Athlete-of-the-year award from the Central Coast Section of the California Interscholastic Fed-eration. Ten students were chosen out of more than 70 extremely talented applicants from through-out the Central Coast Section.
A committee of CCS member-school administrators, athletic directors and coaches from across the section used criteria based on the students’ athletic and academic accomplishments, school and community service and written essays. After application materials were reviewed, finalists were chosen to interview before the committee.
